Lowie and Grimsby itself go without saying, obviously.

I remember running round the empty ballroom of the now-demolished Royal Hotel with my two cousins, whose parents ran it.

Famous guests at the hotel in the late '50s/early '60s include ....er...Rolf Harris apparently.

They used to have decommissioned landing craft thingys, decorated as whales etc to drive you out the 74 miles (approx) to the water's edge at low tide.

Used to be a lido and a model train on the front too.
