Re-built in 1992, this row of houses was originally part of the House of Industry, which was built in 1802 to provide accommodation for one hundred paupers. The accommodation and living areas formed sides of a courtyard, with the outhouses on the east side.
As the name suggest the inhabitants of the House of Industry were expected to work for their bed and board. Among the tasks that the able-bodied poor were given was oakum picking, which involved laboriously picking apart old ropes to separate the loose fibres. The end product was used in shipbuilding. The House of Industry also had a treadmill, which was worked by four or five male inmates at a time. The mill was installed by William Sherlock, the son of the governor of the house, for the purpose of 'curing the sham, sick, idle and disorderly inmates'. The treadmills drive shaft was used to grind corn and also to power a saw.
When the Union Workhouse at Caistor opened in 1837, Grimsby began to send its poor to this new institution and the House of Industry on Brighowgate was closed. In 1847 the building was sold at auction and one range of the courtyard was converted onto a row of three storey dwellings, which was subsequently named Alfred Terrace. This picturesque reminder of Grimsby's past was demolished in 1989, despite being Grade II listed, and later re-built in 1992.
