A free exhibit has opened in Grimsby showcasing pictures taken in the area by more than 80 local photographers.

The exhibition, This Place We Share, will feature more than 150 photos of the port town at the Grimsby Fishing Heritage Centre.

It will run in the centre's Muriel Baker gallery until 3 January 2027 and "celebrates the people, places and spaces" of North East Lincolnshire.

A spokesperson for the council said: "We're so excited to see all the different perspectives they've captured and encourage as many people as possible to come down, have a look and explore the rest of the museum while you're there."
