With all the cutbacks, perhaps they should have fixed the old sign rather than erect a new one. Oole is one of the Thorpes of Clee. Before becoming a unified town, Cleethorpes was made up of three small villages, or "thorpes": Itterby, Oole and Thrunscoe, which were part of a wider parish called Clee.
