See also: TA1811 : Site of WW2 Anti-Aircraft battery, Stallingborough. The former Heavy Anti-Aircraft gun site off Keelby Road, a Second World War HAA gun site for 5.25 inch guns, is designated at Grade II* for the following principal reasons: * Rarity: One of only six surviving 5.25 inch HAA gun sites known nationally; * Survival: For retaining the complete functional layout of the gun site including all four emplacements with their engine houses, the command post as well as the guardhouse/gunstore and the generator house; * Technological: As an example of the most technologically advanced anti-aircraft gun site developed in the Second World War; * Historical: As an illustration of the considerable investment made to counter bombing raids by the Luftwaffe; * Social Interest: The design of the command post suggests that this was a gun site that employed female soldiers from the ATS, one of the milestones passed during the Second World War in the furtherance of equality between the sexes.

The A180/A1173 junction is in the foreground, with South Killingholme oil refineries and Immingham Docks on the south bank of the Humber beyond. Taken at 37,000 feet by mobile phone, from a Prague bound flight from Edinburgh.

Now automated but the signal box still stands. A house for the crossing keeper stood where the trees are on the left.

Taken from the Habrough to Stallingborough footpath.

Opened in 1848 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway.

A quiet lane favoured by dog-walkers and fly-tippers.

It is proposed to build a road parallel to the A180 from Stallingborough Interchange (A180/A1173) to a point just south of here to provide quicker access from the A180 to the western parts of Immingham.

The electricity for the light at this bus stop is generated by either wind or solar power. It stands at the end of the lane to The Bungalow and Tara's.

Looking towards Stallingborough Interchange.

Interesting to what once was considered adequate alongside its succcessor.

Unfortunately if you wanted to lead a horse into Stallingborough you would be defeated by the bridleway splitting into three footpaths each of which ends with a stile.
