===Civil parish=== [[File:Manby Road near Immingham - geograph.org.uk - 5301969.jpg|thumb|Approaching Immingham on the [[A180 road (England)|A180 Road]]]] The civil parish of Immingham is located on the south bank of the [[Humber Estuary]] {{convert|10|km|mi|0|spell=on|abbr=off|order=flip}} west-northwest of [[Grimsby]]. The civil parish is bounded by [[South Killingholme]] to the north-west, with the drain watercourse outfalling at South Killingholme Haven forming the boundary โ also the county boundary between [[North Lincolnshire]] and [[North East Lincolnshire]]. The south-eastern boundary is with the civil parish of [[Stallingborough]], with the North Beck Drain forming most of the boundary. The parish extends to the south-west as far as Roxton, with boundaries to the south-west and south with the civil parishes of [[Habrough]] and [[Keelby]].<ref name="osm">Ordnance Survey 1:25000, Sheet 284, 2006</ref> The civil parish is low lying, extending from below {{convert|5|m}} above sea level near the Humber foreshore, to a peak of {{convert|21|m}} in Roxton wood in the south-west corner. The main features within the parish are the Humber shoreline, running roughly north-west to south-east, the [[Immingham Dock]] and estate, and adjacent south of the dock the town of Immingham. The A180 and Stallingborough-Habrough section of the mainline railway west out of Grimsby ([[Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway]]) pass roughly eastโwest through the southern part of the parish. The A1173 connects the town and dock to the A180. Excluding farms there are no other places of habitation outside the town in the civil parish.<ref name="osm"/> There are two abandoned sites of medieval villages in the parish: that of the village of Immingham, north-west of the modern town, near St Andrew's Church; and [[Roxton, Lincolnshire|Roxton]] in the southern extremity of the parish.<ref name="osm"/> Population of the civil parish was 9,861 in 2001,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11124996&c=immingham&d=16&e=15&g=6381743&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1437748089330&enc=1|title=Key Figures for 2001 Census: Key Statistics โ Area: Immingham (Parish)|access-date=17 August 2015|publisher=Office for National Statistics|work=Neighbourhood Statistics}}</ref> and 9,642 in 2011.<ref name="2011 parish">{{NOMIS2011|id=1170211313|title=Immingham Parish|access-date=27 February 2018}}</ref>
