MORE details are expected shortly on a proposed open day next month at the Grimsby Docks area known as the Kasbah.
It will feature stories, photographs and memories from people who worked down dock or visited the area over the last 50-plus years.
Says North East Lincolnshire Council's portfolio holder for heritage Cllr Callum Procter: "The port was, and is, key to the lives of so many families in North East Lincolnshire.
"It is important that memories of the port as it used to be are not lost in the sands of time.
"We are striving to make use of the buildings on the port once again and create a new community, but in doing this, we must remember our collective past."
The team behind the Kasbah open day are collecting memories of this unique and often untold heritage, and would like your help.
They are especially interested to hear about any Kasbah myths and legends! Maybe you used to see the ghosts of former trawlermen heading out to sea or perhaps you were known as the fastest filleter on the dock?
If you’d like to share your memories, please visit https://grimsby-kasbah.questionpro.eu/.
If you need any help to share these, you can also get in touch with us via email: haz@nelincs.gov.uk
The Kasbah event is being organised by North East Lincolnshire Council along ABP and GGIFT.
