This print titled "Fish heads DP174797" captures the intricate details of a curing factory in Grimsby Docks, North East Lincolnshire. Taken by Alun Bull, this image offers a glimpse into the heart of the fishing industry that has long been synonymous with this coastal town. The photograph showcases a close-up view of fish heads neatly arranged within the factory. Each head tells its own story, bearing marks and scars from their journey through the bustling dockyard. The sheer abundance of fish heads is a testament to the thriving seafood trade that once flourished here.
