Life on The Docks Today

Created by Nikita Spires, this mural celebrates 200 years of train travel while honouring Grimsby’s industrial and maritime heritage. The artwork merges land and sea — a modern train glides alongside the town’s iconic docks, fishing trawlers, and the famous Grimsby Dock Tower beneath a fiery sky.

The inclusion of Alfred Enderby’s smokehouse, cranes, and local workers highlights the town’s identity as a hub of trade, craftsmanship, and resilience. Through bold colours and movement, Spires captures Grimsby’s ongoing journey — from its historic roots to its vibrant modern spirit.
