Immingham Dock was a port facility, with linking railways, opened 6 miles (9.7 km) downstream from Grimsby by the Great Central Railway (GCR) in 1912. It was first conceived in 1874, during the company's Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway days, after test borings north-west of Grimsby had been made by marine engineer Charles Liddell. Nothing ensued but the idea was revived in 1900 when the leading marine engineer Sir John Wolfe Barry confirmed Liddell's earlier recommendations.
