The advent of the First World War caused the area to suffer some decline: This was not reversed until the 1950's. Ypres, 1917, in the vicinity of the Battle of Passchendaele. ...

In that decade the docks began to grow as the country recovered from the Second World War. The expansion of chemical and petroleum industries along the Humber Bank over the next twenty years also fuelled the economic growth and level of population of the town, evident in the architectural style of many houses. In the 1960's a comprehensive school and shopping centre (Kennedy Way) were opened to accomodate this increase. Mushroom cloud from the nuclear explosion over Nagasaki rising 18 km into the air. ...

To begin with the Kennedy Way centre was host to a supermarket, many independent and national traders, offices and several banks; In 1979 it was extended to house a further supermarket and other shop units. However in recent years the centre has been in decline with several outlets remaining empty for many years. Both supermarkets have moved out along with some banks.
