Grimsby skyline to be redrawn in the New Year.
The date when Grimsby’s skyline will begin to change forever with the demolition of East Marsh’s high rise flats has been revealed.
Taking a year to complete using a combination of explosives and machines, work to demolish the six 50-year-old structures will be begin on January 31.
Shoreline Housing Partnership has confirmed that the high-rise blocks which have dominated the skyline for half a century will be blown up and dismantled brick by brick in under two months’ time.

Stripping and weakening of the structures will begin in just under two months ready for a series of blasts to level the blocks.
