  • The Yorkshire River Don and Its Tributaries Synopsis the Document
    The Yorkshire River Don and its Tributaries Synopsis The document describes a virtual journey along the River Don beginning at its source; the perspective is as much historical as descriptive of the current scene. Where significant tributaries join the river, they also are tracked back to their start-points. Particular attention is paid to bridges and watermills because of their intimate associations with the rivers, but nearby buildings, both religious and secular are also given attention. Some people have been specially important to developments associated with the river, and brief biographical notes are provided for them. Finally, I would stress that this is very much a personal account dealing with a river system which I encountered often during my working life and afterwards. Document Navigation I do not provide either a contents list, or an index, but to aid navigation through the document here are page numbers, on which some places appear first in the text. Place Page No. Source of the River Don 3 Penistone 5 Stocksbridge 6 Sheffield 8 Chesterfield 15 Rotherham 21 Denby Dale 23 Barnsley 24 Conisbrough 27 Doncaster 28 Pontefract 32 Goole 34 There is a sketch map of the river and the main tributaries in Table 1 on Page 38. The Bibliography is on Page 43. 1 The Yorkshire River Don and its Tributaries The historical journey I describe is in an important sense virtual, in that I have not travelled along much of the river and its tributaries. The sites of interest dealt with in this account, have been picked out and viewed on separate visits.

  • To the Down of The
    900 YEARS OF THE DON FISHERY fc n v ir o n m e to the down of the E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y The hand of man and the neglect of our . \i ancestors have deprived us of | a river which must have been a vision of glittering beauty (■ ERNEST PHILLIPS 1921 '1 The Don was once one of the country's finest salmon rivers. They have been absent from Salmon Pastures in Sheffield for more than two centuries. In fact for much of that time the river has been virtually fishless. Chris Firth's fascinating history of the river is timely. We now have a thriving coarse fishery again and the first salmon was found in Doncaster on 31 December 1995. Chris's study shows how man's exploitation of the Don devastated its ecology long before the pollution of the industrial revolution. Much has been achieved in recent years but much more remains to be done to protect and sustain the river. Os- JOHN FAWCETT CHAIRMAN 1 983 - 1 997 YORKSHIRE REGIONAL FISHERIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE Born and raised in the Don catchment, I have witnessed the river's misery throughout my childhood and into adult life. When in my professional life, the opportunity presented itself to begin the restoration of the Don I was eager to be involved. That is not to say that this document has been easy to produce. The collation of information from many varying sources has proved to be extremely challenging. The final product of many months of hard work is not a scientific record but a reflection borne of personal and professional experience.
