Stallingborough
Encyclopedia
Stallingborough is a village and civil parish
in North East Lincolnshire
, a short distance from both Grimsby
and Immingham
. The parish stretches from Lincolnshire (West Lindsey) to the Humber coast, and includes the hamlet of Little London.
The parish is bordered to the east with Healing, along the Oldfleet Drain. The boundary goes around Primrose Cottage to the west near to where it crosses the A180. It passes to the west of Wells Farm, where it diverts from the Oldfleet Drain and meets Lincolnshire, West Lindsey
and Riby
. It crosses Keelby Road (A1173) at Riby Gap, near the power lines. Sharing it with North East Lincolnshire, the boundary meets Keelby at Suddle Wood, crossing and briefly following North Beck Drain. West of Stallingborough Top Farm it crosses Stallingborough Road. It passes to the west of Granville Farm and meets Immingham at Roxton Wood, which is skirted by the power lines. It crosses the railway and Stallingborough Road (B1210). One kilometre west of the A1173/A180 junction it crosses the A180, and passes the western edge of Mauxhall Farm. It follows the North Beck Drain under A1173 west of the roundabout with Kiln Lane and along the western edge of the industrial estate (also the DN41/40 postcode boundary) and crosses Laporte Road east of Cray Valley Chemicals, and reaches the Humber.
/M180
, the primary route from Grimsby and Immingham docks towards the West, providing connections via the M18 to the M1
, M62
and A1. Th parish has two level crossings: one next to the station and another at Little London, on the B1210.
Humberside Airport
is a 15 minute drive away, with scheduled flights to Amsterdam and Aberdeen as well as charter flights to many popular holiday destinations.
The A1173 – Riby Road – formerly passed through the village but now terminates at the B1210 roundabout. It then followed South Moss Lane and North Moss Lane towards Immingham. Heavy traffic still follows the route but there is a gap in the A1173 between the B1210 and A180 roundabouts in preparation for the £7.7m western bypass of Stallingborough, passing close to Little London Farm, connecting the B1210 roundabout to the Stallingborough Interchange (A180), and further afield, Caistor
and the A18 to the A180. This route is the northern end of a long distance route for heavy traffic to Immingham port via the High Street (B1225). The scheme was planned to start in the near future, but has now been postponed and is unlikely to be built in the next eight years.
The B1210 has been re-routed, with a new roundaout with the A1173, and passes further to the west of the village.
are a number of industrial and chemical industries, including a Millennium Inorganic Chemicals
plant (bought by the Cristal Chemical Company in 2007 and previously owned by SCM Chemicals Ltd from 1984, part of the Hanson Group). The site, known as the Battery Works, was built by Taylor Woodrow Construction as a sixty acre site in 1950 by Laporte Chemicals
for its subsidiary National Titanium Pigments Limited, becoming Laporte Titanium Ltd, which made titanium dioxide
. It cost £1.5m and was extended in the early 1960s, at a cost of £3.5m, to extend production from 30,000 to 50,000 tonnes per year. In 1958 a new sulphuric acid
plant was built. It became known as the Organics and Pigments Division of Laporte Industries Ltd. On 26 January 1970 a new £7.5m plant was added that made 40,000 tones of chloride process
titanium dioxide. Laporte's other main production plants were at Widnes
and Warrington
. In January 1972 the plant began being heated by refinery tail gas from Conoco
's Lindsey Oil Refinery
at Immingham. The Stallingborough factory employed around 1,200 in the late 1970s – out of Laporte's 4,300 total UK workforce, and 600 in the early 1980s. In December 1983, the site suffered a small gas (titanium tetrachloride
) explosion. In the early 1990s, the plant had to cut down production of titanium dioxide because of EC environmental regulations.
Further east are Novartis
, Ciba
and Huntsman Tioxide. On the industrial estate is the £8m Centre for Assessment of Technical Competence – Humber (CATCH), a training centre for the chemical industry. The Duke of York
visited the site on 5 July 2005, when he visited the Grimsby area. Air Products
have a site on Laporte Road. On 19 May 1993, when it was owned by BOC
, the Queen visited the site, when visiting the Scunthorpe
(Normanby Hall
) and Hull areas. Revertex had a plant making Revinex, and Courtaulds
had a factory. The chemicals plants are situated next to the Humber, well away from human habitation – they can produce toxic fumes, and can easily transfer material by sea. The landscape is not dissimilar to Teesmouth.
Its amenities are: a public house, The Green Man, a Post Office, newsagent, hairdresser, a dress-maker and a railway station
. The village also has a large village hall, Church of England primary school plus a Montessori nursery and primary school, two retirement homes as well as the church of St Peter & St Paul. The church is in the Haverstoe Deanery and is in The Keelby Group, currently administered by mmingham's vicar. To the west of the church lies a scheduled monument, comprising the earthworks of a medieval settlement and a post-medieval manor house and formal gardens. Just outside the village to the south on the A1173 is a hotel and restaurant, The Stallingborough Grange. Close by is a windmill, now converted into a residential property, and a 65 MWe biomass-fired (rape seed and cereal residues) power station is scheduled for construction by RWE NPower
(bought from Helius Energy in September 2008 for £28 million). Helius has an office on the nearby Europarc industrial estate. There is a farm shop at Little London.
Major Sir Ernest Sleight (Baron Sleight

aircraft at about 6,500 ft close to the village, killing two people. Five people survived the accident. The Varsity, with three crew and three student navigators, landed in a field, with its nose and wing ripped off by a tree as it circumnavigated the agricultural land. The Cessna broke up in the air following the collision.
