Grimsby Ice Factory, Industrial ice factory in Grimsby, England
The red-brick Victorian building spans 4,350 square meters and contains original machinery, including four J & E Hall ammonia compressors manufactured in the 1930s.
Between 1900 and 1903, the facility was constructed to meet increasing ice demands from merchants and fishing boats operating at the world's largest fishing port.
The Great Grimsby Ice Factory Trust organizes community events, including Watch Day celebrations with treasure hunts, lectures, and former employee interviews.
The Grade II listed building requires substantial restoration work due to water damage through the deteriorating roof, endangering its historical equipment.
At peak production, the factory generated 1,200 tons of ice daily using a system of metal cans submerged in calcium chloride brine solution cooled by ammonia refrigerant.
