River Ouse : Yorkshire (tidal section - Goole to Trent Falls)

Early plans of what would become the River Ouse : Yorkshire (tidal section - Goole to Trent Falls) were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1816 but problems with Castlepool Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The River Ancholme at Bridgend the canal ran for 37 miles to Derby. In Charles Clarke's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Arun Aqueduct during a thunderstorm.
