During the 1960s the area experienced large scale industrial development, primarily the Humber Refinery, developed by Continental Oil (see Industry of the South Humber Bank.) The road network was greatly developed, with existing roads (A160) widened; sidings from the former Humber Commercial railway were built for the oil refineries. On the banks of the Humber the fish meal and brick works became defunct – a jetty for hydrocarbon import was built, the "Killingholme Gas Jetty", with an associated storage facility, in the environs of the lighthouses. Services on the Barton to Immingham Line ended in 1963.
