The building with the chimneys. One of a number of fish smokeries, both trading and disused, in the dock area. Russell's, along with several others, is a listed building. See: http://list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1379908. Russell's is included as the best and least altered example in Riby Street, and was built in the late C19-early C20, when Grimsby was one of the foremost fishing centres in the world. It forms an interesting comparison with the listed smoking-houses within the docks in the square bounded by Surtees Street, Brown Street and Sidebottom Street.
