After a reported Jewish presence in Grimsby in the middles age, it was in the 1860's that Jews from Eastern Europe sailed to this port with its railway links. Package deals from Europe to America via Grimsby and Liverpool saw 100,000 transmigrants, with the resident Jewish population in Grimsby 87 in 1871, rising to 450 after 1900, and dwindling eventually to 45 in 2021.[1][2]
