About the project:

Heritage Lincolnshire are working on an exciting educational project to share and celebrate the largely unknown legacy of Edward Watkin – “Mr Grimsby & Mr Cleethorpes.” Funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery Players, and partnering with the Watkin Society, we will over the next two years be working to promote and highlight the significant contributions made by Watkin in Grimsby and Cleethorpes. Some of these contributions include financial investment into Grimsby docks in the 19^th century and connecting the docks with the railway through his role as chairman of the MSLR (Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway), supporting its development into the world’s largest fishing port at the time. Similarly in Cleethorpes, Watkin’s investment in the railway and the creation of a sea wall and the promenade, supported the small fishing village to flourish into a popular seaside resort with some even nicknaming it ‘Sheffield-On-Sea’ as the railway.
