We can see what the parks, gardens and green spaces across Cleethorpes look like now, but what were they like in the past?
Have you lived here and while and got memories of one of the parks in decades past? Do older relatives have memories or photographs of local spaces?
We’ve found records of drinking fountains in Sidney Park and newspaper records of swimming competitions taking place in the lake there. Do you have memories or photographs of such things?
Not just the formal parks such as Sidney Park, Sussex Rec, Pier Gardens, but what about before open spaces were built on? What about sports facilities? Anyone got any records anyway about the long gone Clee Park from before Blundell Park was built?
We’d love to see photographs, postcards, books, clippings or anything. Or write us some memories. Or we could interview you.
Anything you can provide us with would be hugely interesting and helpful. We’ll keep this website alive with information about the history behind the green spaces in our area.
Thank you in advance.
