Old Grimsby (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Old Grimsby That the term "old" is applicable to Grimsby no antiquary will be disposed to dispute, for its origin is wrapped in mystery. Our earliest authority on the geography of Britian is Claudius Ptolomaeus, who takes us back to about A.D. 120, but his description affords us no information respecting this part of our country beyond a few references to the mouth of the Humber and Spurn, and they are somewhat indefinite. The only other writer we know of on this subject is Antonine, and his description affords us no help as his first "iter" commences at Brememium and terminates at Prætorium.
