Railway was established. From a terminus near The Corporation Bridge, the route ran to Immingham via Corporation Road and Gilbey Road. In 1928 Little Coates was absorbed by Grimsby, thereby bringing Gilbey Road, Elsenham Road and nearby streets within the borough boundary. These became part of the West Marsh community. During the late 1940s annual parades were held, with a procession of carts and lorries, one specially decorated for the West Marsh beauty queen. In 1956 the last tram ran from Corporation Bridge, however a bus route continued to serve the area. Buses only however run through the ward and not between community centres, which can be hard to access. At night, and on Sundays and Bank Holidays no buses run. Community West Marsh includes the National Fishing Heritage Centre, the Alexandra Retail Park, Alexandra Dock Business Centre and West Marsh Industrial Estate. The River Freshney runs through the centre of the West Marsh. Situated on its north bank, off Corporation Road, are the Duke of York Gardens. Installed in the gardens is the anchor of the now scrapped Lincoln Castle passenger ferry that was previously moored in Alexandra Dock. The West Marsh Community Centre, on Beeson Street to the north of the River Freshney and opened in 1999, is a community building providing activities including football for young people, dance classes and adult education courses. The gardens at the Community Centre contain a memorial cross to those killed in the First World War. St Hugh's and MAAG Hall Community Centres are on the south side of the river in the West Marsh Macaulay area. Social activities are organised by the West Marsh and St Hugh's community centres, and the Macaulay Area Action Group (MAAG) on Haycroft Avenue. MAAG has published a booklet about the history of the southern part of the West Marsh, between the River Freshney and Cromwell Road. This follows an earlier publication that dealt with the area north of the river. West Marsh Forward is a group, involving residents, which was established to bring funding from the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (NRF) to projects in the area. Although NRF funding has been withdrawn, the Forward continues as a focus for the area. Grimsby in Bloom now operate from the old bowling green pavilion on the Duke of York Gardens. There was a quarterly community magazine from 2002 to 2008 called Riverside produced and published by The Community
