Roofers across Grimsby and Scunthorpe
Roofline covers Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Scunthorpe and the towns between them. This is northern Lincolnshire on the south bank of the Humber, not Yorkshire, and a short run over the Humber Bridge from Hull. Fishing-port terraces, steelworks streets, pantiles and post-war estates, with the same one number as the rest of our patch.
The roofs of Grimsby and Scunthorpe
Grimsby and Scunthorpe share Hull's brick and pantile tradition. Grimsby's East Marsh and West Marsh are grids of 1860s to 1880s terraces built for the docks and the fishing fleet, originally roofed in slate with pantiles on the older and coastal buildings, and a great deal of it has since been re-covered in concrete tile. Wellow and People's Park hold the villas. Nunsthorpe was the garden-suburb council estate from 1920, and the East Marsh tower blocks that followed slum clearance came down in 2018.
Scunthorpe grew from five villages when iron ore was found in 1859. New Frodingham is a planned ironworkers' settlement of uniform red-brick terraces under orange clay pantiles, protected as a conservation area since 1986, and orange pantiles are still the local roof. Around it are inter-war semis in Crosby and Ashby, the 1950s Westcliff estate, the Crosby Road towers of 1966 and the Anchor village built for the steelworks in the late 1960s.
Grimsby and Cleethorpes face the North Sea and the Humber mouth: the 2013 surge flooded around 1,100 homes and businesses along the coast, and salt and wind on the seafront shorten the life of fixings and flashings. Scunthorpe sits on an ironstone ridge where surface water is the usual issue and the Trent-side villages carry the river risk.
Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Scunthorpe are in Lincolnshire. They were part of Humberside from 1974 to 1996 and are grouped with Yorkshire in the official Yorkshire and the Humber region, which is why we cover them from Hull, but we will never describe them as Yorkshire towns and neither should anyone else.
