Two privilege return tickets from Cleveland Bridge to Immingham Dock and a
Child special cheap day return ticket.


A ticket for the last journey from Grimsby`s Corporation Bridge to Immingham Dock 10th June 1956.
The tramway along Corporation Road was then abandoned and services began at Cleveland Bridge.
Although this would lead to cheaper maintainance costs, not running on a public highway, Cleveland
Bridge was not so convenient for town and this move probably brought a decline in passenger numbers.
