People Print Grimsby is the continuation of our Meet Us At Albert’s project that we undertook throughout 2024.
Meet Us At Albert’s showed us just how rich Grimsby’s print heritage truly is, and it inspired us to delve deeper into two areas:
- The history of the various printing businesses that thrived across Grimsby throughout the 20th Century, and how much of an impact they had in a wide range of industries from newspaper printing, to travel books, train timetables and event tickets.
- Capturing the stories of real Grimbarians who lived and worked within the print industry. From Typesetters and designers, to Apprentices and Shop Girls; we want to ensure those stories are kept alive, to show what we can do and work towards bringing print back to Grimsby.
The project has been funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and Create North East Lincolnshire. It is being spearheaded by Amethyst and Kat.
