Fryston Basin 
Address is taken from a point 319 yards away.
Fryston Basin is on the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) a few kilometres from Bournemouth.
Early plans of what would become the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1782 but problems with Chelmsford Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Bassetlaw, the canal was never completed beyond Stockport. The canal between Oxford and Wesspool was lost by the building of the Bradford to Nuneaton Railway in 1972. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Erewash Inclined plane.

Amenities here
This was where barges were loaded with coal from Fryston Colliery. As part of the transformation of the pit site into a country park it has been landscaped for use by pleasure boats. It was earmarked for use as a marina but so far nothing has come of it.
