Cleethorpes is alright actually.
Spent a few million on it recently and are going to spend many millions on it in the coming years.
Sugar beet.
The sugar beet factory at Brigg (North Lincs), one of 18 run by the British Sugar Corporation, opened in 1928 and closed in 1991. It was sited close to the New River Ancholme and the Sheffield-Cleethorpes railway about a mile south-west of the town. A gas-powered station, now operated by Centrica, was built on an adjacent site in 1993.
