Residents across Grimsby & Cleethorpes have been sharing their stories and photographs in memory of the iconic Buck Beck Beach Bench, which was burned down last week. A terrible act of vandalism towards a cherished location for many beach-goers.
As unfortunate as it is to have lost the majority of the original structure, the bench's founder along with other local volunteers have already come together to help build the bench back to its former glory!
"We will, as a community, rebuild the bench. I will never let mindless idiots spoil something so many hold dear." - Nick Albion from the BBBB Facebook page.
Nobody can stop bad things from happening but good people can make all the difference in the long run! Huge respect to all the volunteers that have helped out so far and if you're looking to visit the bench yourself, remember to stay safe around the coastline and respectful of both the bench & other people.
