The owners of the Port of Grimsby are promoting the area as a prime location for the filming of period dramas.
Associated British Ports (ABP), responsible for Hull and Grimsby ports, have highlighted the benefits of film crews using Grimsby Docks as a location. It comes as across the Humber basks in the spotlight of being a key filming location for the Steve McQueen-directed Apple TV historical drama Blitz, which follows the lives of ordinary Londoners during Britain's darkest hours and stars Saoirse Ronan, Stephen Graham and Harris Dickinson.
The city has even been nicknamed Hullywood to reflect the scale of use in recent times as a filming location. But Grimsby has had its share of film and TV stardust and could yet develop into a "mini-Cannes" to rival its larger north bank of the Humber counterpart, the port believes.
