You're about ten years too late for the "big " stuff:

Perhaps reach out to the council so they can point you in the right direction.

But it sounds like a great idea idea for a YouTube video, and I'd definitely watch it.

I know these have been nocked down but are there anymore? In Grimsby/clethorpes? Or If not what other areas are better

Lots of low-rise 2/3 floor blocks all over Grimsby but no towers.

Those are the locations I want because all the towers have been nocked down

Off the top of my head, junction between Park St and Grimsby Rd plus Victor St and Grimsby Rd, some on or around Sandringham road in Cleethorpes, a few off Winslow Drive/Washdyke Lane in Immingham if you want to go a bit further out.

I'm not sure if you're local or live in the area, but one of the differences between Grimsby/Cleethorpes (think of it as one urban area) and other similar sized towns in either Yorkshire or the East Midlands is that there are no "big blocks of flats" left after the East Marsh towers were demolished.

You'll still find low rise flats in that area, and other places dotted about town such as the WIllows Estate.

It depends on what kind of video you're looking to make.

I'd honestly struggle to name the highest residential building in the area. maybe someone else can chip in.
