As a young boy in 1949 I used to tavel by tram from Grimsby to Immingham to fish at Killinholm Ponds. On my first trip with an older man who taught us angling he showed us the monument by the Killingholm Creek. I wrote a story for the Grimsby Telegraph Byegones pages almost a decade ago mentioning this memorable event and have included it in my memoirs I'm writing now. I have since been to Immingham several times and taken photos of the monument and have visited the Stone in New Plymouth Massachsetts. Great web page Rod.

The creek on the docks and where it is now. ( I remember walking all the way to see it 1970 ish; only for it to be moved to the church a couple of months later) I was refering to the WAR memorial, which I believe Willie may have mistaken in said photo.

Maybe that is what is on your photo. No proof I'm afraid, just hand me down history Willie

Reading the beginning of your tale is quite fabulous, really resonates with me but is probably, very sadly, now a thing of the past. Things like that are hard to imagine nowadays and we're the poorer for it. Regards Rod Peter,

As a twelve year old, ack in 1949 myself and friend David Holmes sat at the foot of that monument while Hebert our angling mentor rolled his fag. We were on our way to Killingholme Ponds. Herbert said, "this here monument is very historicle so remember it". Then to me it was just a lump of stone. But after visiting Plymouth New England USA I saw the Pilgrim Rock and visited the museum-no mention of Immingham though. While on Cape Cod I climbed the Pilgrim Tower, its similar design as our Dock Tower but half the height and is a kind of museum-well looked after. On my return I visited my sister who lived near Immingahm, she told me about the monument so decided to put my story of that 'historic' fishing trip in the Grimsby Bygone's among other yarns about my childhood, that was back in 2002 or there abouts. I was born on the West Marsh, schooled at South Parade when it was bombed, transferred to Victoria St School, failed my 11+ and finished my schooling at Armstrong Street-a wonderful school. Your blog is wonderful Rod, I'll be reading more later. Cheers Peter P I found your article of the pilgrim monument interesting.

From what I've heard, it started life on the docks, near to the site of the original Immingham Creek, and was then moved to its current site near St Andrews when the docks were expanding.
