The Grimsby Telegraph writes:<\/p>\n

Developed in the 1870s, the network of smoke houses, warehouses and shops situated on land between Royal Dock and Fish Dock No 2 on the Port of Grimsby are a distinctive part of the town’s fishing history. The decision to grant it Conservation Area status was taken by North East Lincolnshire Council’s Cabinet, with the authority’s deputy leader, councillor Dave Watson, describing it as \u2018wonderful news.\u2019 The move will make it easier for landowners ABP, to access opportunities of grant funding from Historic England, Heritage Lottery Fund and other partners in order to conserve and develop or re-use the heritage assets, which it is hoped will bring about new jobs and growth.\u00a0 Councillor Watson said:<\/p>\n

\u2018It’s a good news story for the town. It’s wonderful news and it shows that we are concentrating on our heritage and protecting it.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Kasbah area is the only surviving area of traditional smoke houses in England, with six listed examples remaining there and Protected\u00a0 Geographical Indication (PGI) status is already in place for traditional smoked fish products. The area also forms an important part of the setting of the iconic grade I listed Dock Tower and the grade II* listed Ice Factory.\u00a0 Councillor Peter Wheatley, portfolio holder for regeneration, said the decision to grant the Kasbah area Conservation Area status was an \u2018important building block\u2019\u00a0 of the Greater Grimsby Town Deal – the huge multi-million pound transformation deal put to government which was announced this summer.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018We will be working closely with ABP on the future of this historic area as part of that Town Deal, and look forward to the new future for our historic past.\u2019<\/p>\n

Louise Brennan, planning director, East Midlands at Historic England, added: \u2018This is fantastic news for Grimsby. The Kasbah is a very special place that has huge potential for regeneration. Across the country, developers and businesses are repairing and reusing historic buildings, turning local history into economic success. We believe that making the Kasbah into a Conservation Area will help make this happen in Grimsby and look forward to working with North East Lincolnshire Council and Associated British Ports. The Kasbah is now England\u2019s newest Conservation Area in the 50th anniversary of this form of heritage protection and it\u2019s fitting that it\u2019s in the same county as the first \u2013 Stamford.\u2019<\/p>\n
