Grimsby Cordage Mill, Ropery Street, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire
This Cordage mill was built for the manufacture of twine and nets in 1899. It was built for the Grimsby Cordage Co. The Cordage Company was created by the Cosalt Co, whose concerns also included the net workshop beside the Victor Street Fisher Lads Home and Orphanage and the Waterproof Clothing Co factory in Robinson Street. The factory illustrates the importance of Grimsby as the world's foremost fishing centre in the late 19th and early 20th century. This was one of the largest purpose built cordage mills in England, at that time, designed specifically for the production of twine and nets.
