The Pilgrim Fathers' Immingham connection

Secret Lincolnshire

Available for over a year

The Pilgrim Fathers sailed to America on the Mayflower in 1620 - a voyage often associated with Boston in Lincolnshire. But their journey to the New World as they fled religious persecution leads back several years to the banks of the Humber in the north east of the county. Josh Gorroño Chapman explores Immingham’s often overlooked link to the Pilgrims.
