Binns undergoing a facelift with state-of-the-art new escalators, the opening of a new restaurant and a Nunsthorpe boy's campaign to help the environment were just some of the news stories in the Grimsby Telegraph in April 1985.

A popular jungle-themed bar in the heart of Grimsby has undergone an extensive renovation. Jungle Smash on Bethlehem Street opened last summer and has gone from strength to strength in the months since. Following the closure of the Othello, the bar has expanded from the ground floor only to the former restaurant premises, making it a "three-storey entertainment paradise". The bar now offers axe throwing, karaoke, giant snakes and ladders, interactive darts and even a rodeo bull to have a go on.
