YORKSHIRE EVENING POST 1890 to 1900
YORKSHIRE EVENING POST 1890 to 1900 1 3 December 1890 An inquest was held yesterday on the body of Sarah Jackson, 37, the wife of a canal boatman. Deceased had only arrived in Salford with her husband, when she went ashore with him. On returning to the flat some little time before him, the deceased, it is believed, missed her footing in the darkness and fell into the canal at Oldfield Road. Search was made for the body, which was found near the shore side. A verdict of “Found drowned” was returned. 2 26 December 1890 CHRISTMASTIDE IN LEEDS Of all the holidays in the year, Christmastide is perhaps looked forward to with the most interest, inasmuch as to many people it means their annual visit to the best and oldest friends they have got, and to a reuniting of old ties. Then, of all times in the year, is it that the family circle is met together, old differences are healed, and the occasion is made one of festivity. This Christmas has been no exception to the rule, in the latter respect, at any rate ; but, unfortunately, the weather has not been so auspicious as it might have been. In the early part of the week, it appeared probable that we should have a real old fashioned Christmas, with real frost and snow. A thaw, however, set in on Wednesday, and on Christmas Eve, the streets of the town were in A VERY DISAGREEABLE CONDITION rendering “sight seeing” and “shopping” less popular than they would have been. On the same night, and early on Christmas morning too, it is said that the principal streets from time to time were the scene of rowdyism of the most disgraceful kind.

Introduction and the Aire and Calder Navigation Notes on John Goodchild’S Talk at Wakefield Archives on 16Th April 2014
“By Water to Wakefield”: Introduction and the Aire and Calder Navigation Notes on John Goodchild’s talk at Wakefield Archives on 16th April 2014 John Goodchild introduced his series of three talks by explaining that these would provide an outline history to the three waterways that meet at Wakefield. The Aire and Calder Navigation was opened from Weeland through to Leeds and Wakefield at the end of the 17th century, and the Calder and Hebble Navigation in the 1760s from Wakefield to Salterhebble and later to Sowerby Bridge. These two navigations used the existing rivers Aire and Calder, dredging them, and by a system of weirs and locks made them navigable. The third waterway was the Barnsley Canal which opened in 1799 and extended to Cawthorne in 1802. From Weeland with access to the North Sea, goods could be transported north to the whole of the Vale of York and up the River Ure to Boroughbridge, south to Lincolnshire, and west to Yorkshire and Lancashire. The Barnsley Canal gave access to the Don Valley, and by 1816 to Sheffield. From Doncaster via the River Trent and the Grand Union Canal it was possible to reach London. John had acquired documents concerning the Aire and Calder Navigation from a country house sale at South Elmsall. Documents relating to the Calder and Hebble Navigation had been 'dumped' at Sowerby Bridge having been disposed of from the Halifax offices of the navigation. The Barnsley Canal documents came from a firm of Wakefield lawyers. The waterways enabled and encouraged commerce and industry as raw and manufactured goods could be carried at economic prices compared to road transport.

HS2 Phase 2 Consultation on the Route from the West Midlands to Manchester, Leeds and Beyond Response from the Inland Waterways Association
1 HS2 Phase 2 Consultation on the route from the West Midlands to Manchester, Leeds and beyond Response from the Inland Waterways Association Introduction The Inland Waterways Association (IWA) is a registered charity, founded in 1946, which advocates the conservation, use, maintenance, restoration and development of the inland waterways for public benefit. IWA members’ interests include boating, towpath walking, industrial archaeology, nature conservation and many other activities associated with the inland waterways. IWA works closely with navigation authorities, other waterway bodies, and a wide range of national and local authorities, voluntary, private and public sector organisations. IWA accepts that the overall economic and social case for the proposed High Speed Rail network is for Government to make and for Parliament to decide. If it proceeds it will have major adverse impacts on the local environment and quality of life of many people on its route, both during construction and operation, including impacts on the inland waterways infrastructure and users. The waterways affected include both existing navigations and canals under restoration for which equal consideration and provision should be made. IWA considers that the project needs to be designed and implemented so as to minimise its impacts, to mitigate those impacts that cannot be avoided, and to fully compensate all those disadvantaged by its construction and operation. 2 The Western Leg (West Midlands to Manchester) Consultation Question 1: Comments on the Route and Supporting Infrastructure Summary The route start will need to be adjusted to take account of any changes made to the canal crossings at Fradley. At Great Haywood moving the route further north and extending the viaduct across the River Trent and Trent and Mersey Canal will reduce impact on the Great Haywood marina.

Barnsley Canal, Old Royston
Barnsley Canal, Old Royston STATUS: Local Geological Site OTHER DESIGNATIONS: COUNTY: West Yorkshire DISTRICT: Wakefield OS GRID REF. SE 36724 13348 to 36442 13740 OS 1:50,000 Landranger 104 Leeds and Bradford OS 1:25,000 Explorer 289 Leeds BGS 1:50,000 Sheet 78 Wakefield FIRST DESIGNATED by West Yorkshire Geology Trust in 2012 DATE OF MOST RECENT SURVEY October 2012 by West Yorkshire Geology Trust DESIGNATION SHEET UPDATED November 2012 SITE DESCRIPTION: The designated site covers the canal cutting and tow path on the south-east side of the Barnsley Canal between High Bridge on Notton Lane (SE 367 133) and a point 560m north-west along the canal (SE 364 138). The nearest small hamlet is Old Royston. The canal cutting is up to10m high and much of it is tree-covered, though there are exposures of sandstones and siltstones in several places. In places there are large fallen blocks which show bedding planes and 10mm iron nodules. A spring-line can be seen between sandstones and mudstones and it has created a small waterfall next to the towpath. Two old quarries of considerable size are completely overgrown. They were probably exploited for coal and fireclay. HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS: The Barnsley, Dearne and Dove Canals Trust website has plenty of information on the history of the canal network in this area. http://www.bddct.org.uk/home.html Some geological information has been added to the website at http://www.bddct.org.uk/geology/geology.html EDUCATIONAL VALUE: This is not a site where it is easy to manage a large party, as the canal towpath is only 2- 3m wide and the cutting slopes are not accessible.

MANCHESTER TIMES 1860 to 1880 1 January 7 1860 GREAT LOSS OF
MANCHESTER TIMES 1860 TO 1880 1 January 7 1860 GREAT LOSS OF LIFE ON THE RIVER MERSEY On Saturday, a fearful accident, causing the loss of more than twenty lives, occurred in the river Mersey. It appears that a vessel called the Grand Trianon, commanded by Captain Henry Clarke, left the Birkenhead Dock on Friday morning at high water, and anchored near the middle of the river, off Rock Ferry. She is an emigrant ship, bound for Adelaide. A number of men were on board, consisting of riggers and other artisans, who had been employed in various ways in fitting up the ship and getting her ready for sea. These men, having completed the work on board ship, were desirous of going ashore, and with this object in view, availed themselves of a boat that came alongside. The boat belonged to Thomas Mackay, a man well known as a boatman on the river. With regard to the exact number of persons on board, there are various statements but, so far as can at present be ascertained, the number must have been at least twenty six or twenty seven ; some of the survivors estimate it as high as thirty. It was intended that the boat should run into what is termed the Cockle Hole, near the Brunswick Dock, and land her passengers. A strong breeze was blowing at the time from the south west, with rather a heavy sea, the tide being on the ebb. The boat, which was under sail, approached to within a short distance of the Brunswick Pier, when a sea struck her, and she shipped some water.
