Community Assembly of Immingham

About us

The Community Assembly of Immingham is located in a port town and civil parish in North East Lincolnshire in the British Isles. It sits on the south-west bank of the Humber Estuary, six miles northwest of Grimsby. The civil parish is bounded by South Killingholme to the north-west, with the drain watercourse outfalling at South Killingholme Haven forming the boundary which is also the county boundary between North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. The south-eastern boundary is with the civil parish of Stallingborough, with the North Beck Drain forming most of the boundary. The parish extends to the south-west as far as Roxton, with boundaries to the south-west and south with the civil parishes of Habrough and Keelby.

Immingham was relatively unpopulated until the early 1900s, when the Great Central Railway began developing Immingham Dock. As a consequence of the docks, and post-Second World War large scale industrial developments, Immingham became a significant town during the 20th century. The Port of Immingham and Grimsby was the largest port in the England by tonnage with 54 million tonnes of cargo passing through in 2019.

There are two abandoned sites of medieval villages in the parish: that of the village of Immingham, north-west of the modern town, near St Andrew's Church; and Roxton in the southern extremity of the parish.
