History Of Hope Street

Hope Street Trust charity has been awarded funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to research and retell the History of Health in Hope Street.

Hope Street Trust were awarded funding by the Heritage Lottery fund to engage young and old people in uncovering the history of Hope Street, East Marsh, Grimsby.

As part of our grant agreement we delivered the following activities:

Produced a book about the history of health in Hope Street from 1800 - present day

Produced a documentary movie about the History of Health in Hope Street

Created enough information and research to host an exhibition at the end of the project

Developed a community play about the history of health in Hope Street.

Carried out a re-enactment of Queen Elizabeth II coronation in true Hope Street party style.

We engaged 35 young people and 63 older people who volunteered a staggering 5693 hours of time on the project.

We hope you find our page interesting and if you would like a memory stick of all our research, photos, family profiles, book and films, please join Hope Street Trust as a member for £5.

Our project concluded in June 2016 but our page will remain open to help the Hope Street Family connect from all over the world.
