Tin Town Heritage Centre
Sightseeing attraction | Immingham | England | United Kingdom
The Tin Town Heritage Centre in Immingham is a historic building that offers a unique insight into the history of the town and its development. It is the last surviving building from the so-called "Tin Town", a residential area built at the beginning of the 20th century for workers of the Immingham Docks. These corrugated iron bungalows were a quick and affordable solution to accommodate the growing population during the construction of the port.
The bungalow "Fernleigh" was built in 1907 and is now accessible as a museum. Visitors can explore the interior of the house and get an authentic impression of life at that time. The centre offers exhibitions and information about the history of Immingham, particularly about the development of the port and the living conditions of the workers.
The Tin Town Heritage Centre is a significant cultural heritage and a valuable part of Immingham's historical heritage. It allows visitors to learn more about the social and industrial aspects of the town's history and understand the challenges and innovations associated with the growth of the port.
