South Killingholme is a village and civil parish in North Lincolnshire, England. The parish was predominately agricultural and sparsely populated and the village small until the 1960s when industrialisation of the south Humber bank took place throughout area northwest of Grimsby - within the parish of South Killingholme the Humber Oil Refinery was built in the late 1960s. At the same time the village greatly expanded reaching near its present (2006) scale by the early 1970s. The expansion of the Port of Immingham westwards encroached on the parish from the 1970s onwards, mainly due to the Immingham Bulk Terminal (1970) and later Immingham Gas Jetty (1985); in 2004 a 730 MW powerstation Conoco Philips Power Station (now known as ''Immingham Power Station'') was built alongside the refinery. As of 2006 the land area of the parish consists of an approximately 50:50 split of heavy industry - petroleum storage, refining and power generation; and agricultural land. South Killingholme is the only village in the parish and is located roughly in the centre of area. ==Geography== The parish of South Killingholme extends from the Humber estuary foreshore roughly southwest through the village of South Killingholme to a boundary near Ulceby railway station; the parish is roughly long (NW-SE) and wide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Boundary Viewer - South Killingholme (parish) )〕〔Ordnance Survey. Sheet 284. 1:25000. 2006〕 The parish had a population of 1047 at the 2001 census,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Area: South Killingholme (Parish) - Parish Headcounts 2001 )〕 and at the 2011 census a population of 1,108.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Area: South Killingholme (Parish) - Key Figures for 2011 Census: Key Statistics )〕 The parish is in the Ferry ward of North Lincolnshire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Area: Ferry (Ward) )〕 The southeastern and southern sides of the parish forms a boundary with the parishes of Immingham and Habrough and with the administrative county of North East Lincolnshire, following the line of the main drain leading to South Killingholme Haven. The southwestern edge of the parish extends as far as, and included Ulceby railway station,〔 2km east of the village of Ulceby, where the boundary is with the parishes of Brocklesby and Ulceby, much of the boundary following the line of the canalized Skitter Beck. The northwestern boundary is entirely with the parish of North Killingholme, running southeast-northwest; from the southern part along the West Mere Middle Road, then bisecting the Lindsey Oil Refinery, and exiting the bank of the Humber estuary halfway between north and south Killingholme havens.〔〔 The parish is low lying rising from less than above sea level near the Humber bank, to a peak of above sea level in the southwest part of the parish, south of the village. Half of the parish is in agricultural use, primarily farming but including some plantations, the land is drained by man made ditches. The only human habitation in the parish of any note is the village of South Killingholme,〔 near to the centre of the parish.〔 The remainder of the parish is used for industrial and logistical purposes - northeast of the village is the Humber Oil Refinery,〔 with the Lindsey Oil Refinery to the north also partially in the parish. Near the banks of the Humber the development of the Port of Immingham estate extends into the parish, specifically the western part of the Immingham Bulk Termnal, known as the Humber International Terminal; and the Immingham Gas Terminal; the freight branch line to the docks (formerly the Humber Commercial Railway) runs through the parish from a junction near Ulceby station. To the northwest along the banks is the Killingholme gas jetty,〔 and an associated storage facility. Three lighthouses, all constructed in the 19th century, are located on the Humber bank near to the oil storage terminal.〔 The A1077 / A160 passes through the parish from a junction with the A180 passing through the village, and connecting to Immingham Dock.〔 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「South Killingholme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
