The Humber Hotel was situated at 259 Cleethorpes Road. This pub was built in 1937 and closed in 2009. It is now in commercial use.

Hewitts Brothers of Grimsby built the Humber Hotel in 1937 on the garden site to the original Humber hotel built in 1834 and since demolished. The old Humber was built 'expressly for an inn and bathing house with a good stable and garden'. In 1850 Mr Samuel Williams advertised he had obtained six bathing machines near the great gun battery 'for those desirous of having a wash in the sea', something most of us wouldn't ever contemplate nowadays! In 1866, Williams fell foul of the law and was charged with selling drinks on Sundays and fined 12s, including costs. In 2010 the Humber Hotel pub closed for good, but the building was saved and handed a new role as a showroom and manufacturing facility for a sign company.
