Shared Memories of Grimsby

  Year: 1968 Abbey walk
I remember the old houses opposite our house being flattened to make way for the multi-storey car park. It was exciting watching the construction traffic. I was 4. Once the shell was built the workforce always finished at 7 in the evening and all the floodlights went off. I think it was completed in early 1970 because I recall playing on the ground floor on a summer Sunday when the car park was closed. My mate and I were playing football with the lads from Garden Street. The ball echoed as the car park was empty. The other place for football was 'round the back' in Gresswell's garage yard, an enclosed stadium! It is now Somerfield's supermarket.
