Geography
Stallingborough is a small village in a rural setting which still retains a rural feel even though it is close to more populous areas and major industries.
The parish is bordered to the east with Healing, along the Oldfleet Drain. The boundary goes around Primrose Cottage to the west near to where it crosses the A180. It passes to the west of Wells Farm, where it diverts from the Oldfleet Drain and meets Lincolnshire, West Lindsey and Riby. It crosses Keelby Road (A1173) at Riby Gap, near the power lines. Sharing it with North East Lincolnshire, the boundary meets Keelby at Suddle Wood, crossing and briefly following North Beck Drain. West of Stallingborough Top Farm it crosses Stallingborough Road. It passes to the west of Granville Farm and meets Immingham at Roxton Wood, which is skirted by the power lines. It crosses the railway and Stallingborough Road (B1210). One kilometre west of the A1173/A180 junction it crosses the A180, and passes the western edge of Mauxhall Farm. It follows the North Beck Drain under A1173 west of the roundabout with Kiln Lane and along the western edge of the industrial estate (also the DN41/40 postcode boundary) and crosses Laporte Road east of Cray Valley Chemicals, and reaches the Humber.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“The California fever is not likely to take us off.... There is neither romance nor glory in digging for gold after the manner of the pictures in the geography of diamond washing in Brazil.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.”
—Derek Wall (b. 1965)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
