The Immingham Museum has an astounding array of railway memorabilia and interesting exhibits detailing the story and history of the building of the Docks, there is also a fascinating collection of local items, a small exhibit of the Pilgrim Fathers and even a recreation of a WW1 Trench that would have been used by soldiers. Close by is Thornton Abbey and Gatehouse which was founded as a Priory and later in 1148 became an Abbey. The Gatehouse is 14th Century and ornate in it’s construction , inside there is a chance to explore the large rooms and smaller cells linked together with a network of passageways, the ruins may also be seen of the Chapter house.
