About Old Grimsby

Old Grimsby, a scatter of stone against the Cornish sea, breathes a salt-laced air. It lies 5.3 km north-north-west of Hugh Town (from Hugh Town: bearing 346°T, OS grid SV 892 157), and is situated north-north-east of New Grimsby village. The light here, especially as it softens towards evening, seems to fall in broad, pale washes across the ancient granite walls, a gentle benediction on the humble dwellings. Life in Old Grimsby has long been shaped by the ebb and flow of the tides, the fishing boats pulled up on shingle beaches speaking of a sturdy, enduring connection to the sea. The very stones underfoot, worn smooth by generations of passage, seem to hold the quiet murmur of countless lives lived out in the shadow of the vast Atlantic.
