Cleethorpes is a seaside resort in North East Lincolnshire, England. The Greenwich meridian passes through the town which is 230 km (143 mi) from London. It has a population of 32,000 people (2012 estimate).

Cleethorpes dates back to the neolithic and Bronze Age. The earliest permanent settlement in the area dates to the 6th century. Its name Cleethorpes comes from Old English or Old Norse, translated as "clay village".

Cleethorpes was a fishing village for most of its existence. It only began to evolve into a holiday resort in the 19th century, when seabathing became fashionable. The Cleethorpes Pier opened in 1873 and the seaside promenade in 1885.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
