About

North East Lincolnshire sits on the southern bank of the Humber Estuary in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The unitary authority covers Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Immingham and combines seaport activity, seafood processing and coastal settlements. Immingham Dock handles large volumes of cargo and is one of the UK's busiest ports by tonnage, while Grimsby remains home to seafood processing and the Freshney River runs through the town to the docks. The Grimsby Dock Tower, a 19th-century hydraulic tower, remains a local landmark near the harbour.

Coastlines include the sandy shore and promenade at Cleethorpes, a short heritage railway and a pier that attract day visitors. Mudflats and saltmarsh beside the estuary support wading birds and offshore shipping lanes pass close to shore, shaping local industry and employment. Inland areas contain suburban neighbourhoods, industrial estates and transport links such as the A180 and freight rail connections that link the port to national networks. Local services mix council, retail and maritime support, reflecting the district's role as a working coastal hub.
