It was; there were a few boxes that received the same treatment, Garden Street being all timber construction and a tall box it was deemed vulnerable to enemy attack being so close to the Docks during WW2. To this day it stands derelict but it still has its frame in situ be it tho' minus levers as they were used elsewhere. Wellowgate Crossing box was removed in two sections and conserved at the NRM at York. The only one that didn't survive was Friargate Crossing Box which burnt to the ground one night during 1990

Garden street box was scratch built by my brother,as for the period that we are modeling is late 60';s to the early 90's.As for finding pictures of the area they are definitely like hens teeth,we had trawled the internet as you do to get as much as we could, then we then actually went to Grimsby to capture the area for ourselves,The most surprising thing was how compact the site really is.Our layout is based on Grimsby Town with modelers artistic license due to the fact of the space we had and also what we wanted out of the model itself.
