It grew from humble beginnings
to the largest fishing sea port in the world during the busy heyday of
the 1950’s and 60’s. The oldest building dates back to 11th Century, the
Holy Trinity and St Mary’s Church, which has an amazing Saxon Tower. Local
history is displayed of the Pilgrim Fathers, The Great Central Railway,
a Chemist and Grocers from yesteryear, and there is something rather special
at the Immingham Museum. Or if you enjoy travelling along twisting dark
corridors and winding staircases, a visit to the Time Trap Museum delivers
an insight into the prisoners that were held here, explore the cells, remember
the key….
For the wonders of the great
outdoors, perhaps start your journey along the Humber Estuary, stop off
at the Discovery Centre where the hands on exhibits tells the story of
shipping, or there is always the delightful floral displays in the Victorian
park, where a leisurely stroll by the heart shaped lake or exotic birds,
is sure to please, why not have a go on the croquet lawn. Of course there
is always the magical experience of the Sea Life Centre or go Tropical
at the Jungle Zoo where the sights and sounds envelopes you, with exotic
plants, parrots, toucans and even giant snakes, if that doesn’t get the
adrenalin pumping hold tight on one of the white knuckle rides at Pleasure
Island, or maybe enjoy the Auditorium which has International Music Acts
and West End Musicals. If the experience of shopping is what you are looking
for, then a visit to Freshney Place Shopping Centre boasting 100 shops
under one roof. |
