A busy 1933 scene at Immingham Town where tram on left is just arriving
from Immingham Dock after passing
over railway overbridge. To continue to Grimsby a reversal would
then be required and it would follow the track
occupied by middle tram. Tram on right is just arriving from Grimsby.

Two privilege return tickets from Cleveland Bridge to Immingham
Dock and a
Child special cheap day return ticket.
A ticket for the last journey from Grimsby`s Corporation Bridge
to Immingham Dock 10th June 1956.
The tramway along Corporation Road was then abandoned and services
began at Cleveland Bridge.
Although this would lead to cheaper maintainance costs, not running
on a public highway, Cleveland
Bridge was not so convenient for town and this move probably brought
a decline in passenger numbers.
