The Crux Grimsby

🚀 OUR WEBSITE IS NOW LIVE 🚀

Over the past few months we've been researching Victoria Flour Mills, uncovering its history and exploring what the future could hold for this remarkable Grimsby landmark.

Today we're excited to launch the first version of the Crux Grimsby website.

While it's still in its early stages, you'll already find:

🏭 Information about Victoria Flour Mills
🎬 Our latest digital reconstruction film
📖 The beginning of our heritage journey
📰 Project updates and news
📋 Opportunities to get involved and support the project

This website will continue to grow as we uncover more of the building's history, gather photographs, collect memories from the community and progress the project.

Our aim is to create a place where people can explore the past, present and future of one of Grimsby's most iconic buildings.

A huge thank you to Grimsby Creates and the Hidden Stories programme for helping make this work possible and supporting us in sharing the story of Victoria Flour Mills with the wider community.

We're only just getting started.

Climbing and Heritage CIC - Crux Grimsby An ambitious and transformative project aimed at repurposing the Grade II listed Victoria Mill Silo into one of the United Kingdom’s leading indoor climbing centres.

The response to our Hang Tough Challenge at the Festival of the Sea got us thinking... 🤔

What if Grimsby had a temporary climbing wall in Freshney Place while we continue working towards our permanent home at Victoria Flour Mills?

Imagine popping into town and having a climb with friends or family. 🧗

Would you use it?

👍 Yes
❤️ Definitely
