Dist:0.3km<br/>Oh dear! All the life seems to have gone from this 1960's shopping precinct. See [[106579]] for a scene just five years ago. I can personally vouch for the vibrant place this was in the 1970's.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The last remaining "Tin House" of a community built in the early years of the last century to house the workmen who came to dig the Deep Water Docks, and their dependents. By 1908 it had become known as "Tin Town" and included shops and a "Tin Mission". http://www.flickr.com/photos/riffraff1/2172180382/

Dist:0.6km<br/>Immingham greatly expanded in the 1960s and 1970s and most of its public buildings date from that time. Now they are beginning to show their age and lack of maintenance is taking its toll. Parts of this school are looking a bit shabby. But external appearances are not reflected by what goes on within the school buildings. This is rated a Good school by Ofsted.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Originally built to house workers constructing Immingham Dock. This may be the last survivor.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A modern estate pub on Margaret Street at the southern edge of town. The Mayflower took many Lincolnshire folk to the New World, setting out, famously, from Boston about 50 miles down the coast from here.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Immingham's only post office; the fact that it is called Pelham Road rather than simply Immingham perhaps suggests that there was once another.

Dist:0.8km<br/>On 1940s Ordnance Survey maps Immingham still has comparatively few houses, mostly along the sides of Church Lane, Bluestone Lane and Pelham Road, with Green Lane crossing the open fields in between. Since the expansion of the docks in around 1970 and the subsequent growth of industry on the Humber bank the area has become a mass of housing, yet somehow Green Lane has managed to stay relatively green.
