North Killingholme is a small village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. It is situated on the southern bank of the Humber estuary northeast of Grimsby; to the south is the village and civil parish of South Killingholme. The harbour of North Killingholme Haven, and the Humber Sea Terminal (2000–) are in the northern part of the parish, on the banks of the Humber estuary. The Lindsey Oil Refinery (1968–), and the Killingholme A and Killingholme B power stations (1990s–) are located in the parish, northeast of the village. South Killingholme village is located southwest of the refinery – it is small, with a low population – the church of St Denys dates to the medieval period, and there are two moated sites in close proximity. The former RAF North Killingholme is located in the southern part of the civil parish, built and used during the Second World War. ==Geography== The parish of North Killingholme extends from the Humber estuary foreshore roughly southwest through Lindsey Oil Refinery; the village of North Killingholme; and the former RAF North Killingholme to a boundary with the civil parish of Ulceby formed by the canalized water course, ''Skitter Beck''. The parish is roughly long (NW-SE) and wide, widening to wide at the banks of the Humber. The drain outfall, harbour and port of North Killingholme Haven is located in the northernmost corner of the parish on the Humber banks. To the south east is the civil parish of South Killingholme; to the northwest is the civil parish of East Halton.〔Ordnance Survey.

A local peak of is found close to the village church near the middle of the parish.〔 Approximately 50% of the land area of the parish is in industrial or logistical use: land in industrial use includes the Humber Sea Terminal at North Killingholme Haven; the Lindsey Oil Refinery, and its two power stations adjacent northwest of the site (see Killingholme A and Killingholme B); as well as industrial estate development near the disused former RAF airfield. Much of the remainder of the parishes land is in agricultural use, with regular enclosed fields drained by man made channels. Additionally there is a nature reserve at North Killingholme Haven, a former clay extraction pit; some small woods; and the small village of North Killingholme. A branch line for the Immingham Dock (formerly the Humber Commercial Railway) runs through the parish near the southern boundary, and also serves the oil refinery via sidings.〔 The parish had a population of 224 at the 2001 census, and at the 2011 census a population of 292. The parish is in the Ferry ward of North Lincolnshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Area: Ferry (Ward) )〕 South Killingholme village is the only habitation of any note in the parish.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Killingholme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
