The Fishermen's Reading Room - a photo on Flickriver

The Fishermen's Reading Room, built in 1908, came about through Eleanor Appleton, who wished to honour the memory of her late husband William Appleton of Grimsby. We are not sure of his connection to Hope, though he must have visited as he spoke of constructing a breakwater but was concerned about the cost. Built at a cost of £150 on the leased land and was designated for 'reading only'- not for commerce, religious or political use. In addition not alcohol could be brought onto the premises and gambling was prohibited. In 1920 the freehold was bought for the Reading Room by its members.
