Heck Lane, Selby DN14 0BL, United Kingdom
 

Heck Bridge the prettiest village in England. It is famous for the annual maypole dance.

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.

Information about the place
Heck Bridge is a village on the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) between Sykehouse Junction (Junction of Aire and Calder (Main Line) and Sheffield and South Yorkshire New Junction Canal) (4 miles and 3¾ furlongs and 1 lock to the east) and Whitley Bridge (2 miles and 1 furlong and 1 lock to the west).
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Sykehouse Junction is Heck Bridge Marina; 1¼ furlongs away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Whitley Bridge is Whitley Lock Visitor Moorings; 1 mile and 2¾ furlongs away.

This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, 11 feet and 10 inches high and 8 feet and 2 inches deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 11 feet and 10 inches high.

There may be access to the towpath here.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Moorings against steel pilings. No facilities and no mooring cleats, but easy enough to put stakes in and access to towpath is good. Avoid fishermen.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
