Inland Waterways Phase 2

CWWW Waterways Templates

Background

During 2009/10 the RDPE LEADER CWWW programme funded consultants to research the waterways within the CWWW area. As part of this research nine waterway ‘templates’ were produced which outline the primary purpose of the waterway; salient features; key organisations including the navigation authority where this exists; ownership where known; local partnerships; water uses and activities (including leisure activities such as angling and canoeing which use the water, and others such as walking and cycling which use adjacent paths and land); local history and built heritage; and important aspects of the natural environment such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs).

1 DRIFFIELD NAVIGATION and RIVER HULL Overview and Description The Driffield Navigation is an extension of the River Hull, running from Driffield to Aike Beck (approximately 11 miles), with branches to Frodingham and Corps Landing. The River Hull from Aike Beck to the Humber is around 23 miles long. Beverley Beck and the Leven Canal branch from the River Hull, although the entrance to the latter is blocked. The river runs close to the outskirts of Beverley, which is the only major centre of population near the river between Driffield and Hull.

All the locks on the Driffield Canal have been restored to use, but the fixed Wansford road bridge prevents navigation along the length of the canal.

There are two other accommodation bridges to be replaced as well as a significant amount of dredging to remove contaminated sediment and increase the depth of the waterway to facilitate navigation. Primary Usage / Purpose Leisure and canal boat use; commercial boat usage within Hull port. The River Hull and Driffield Navigation are also the main drainage channels for the Wolds and coastal areas. Navigation Authority Driffield Navigation Trust; Environment Agency has powers to control navigation in relation to impact on water management for River Hull Amenity Society Driffield Navigation Amenities Association Water Users Cruisers, residential craft, canoes, sailing boats Beverley Beck Boating Association; Canal Cruises; Bethell's Bridge Boat Club; Hull Bridge Boat Club

Drainage and Floods Drainage from the Holderness Plain is of critical importance to the area, achieved through the Holderness Drain, which runs broadly parallel to the river, and the River Hull. Precipitation on Wolds feeds the River Hull headwaters and Driffield Navigation via streams, drainage channels and underground spring system. This network forms the main drainage system for the whole East Riding Natural Environment River Hull Headwaters SSSI, Leven Canal SSSI, Pulfin Bog SSSI. Nationally important chalk stream and wetland habitats.

2 THE GOOLE AREA: AIRE & CALDER / RIVER AIRE / RIVER DON / DUTCH RIVER and the RIVER OUSE

Overview and Description Goole is the centre of a network of natural and man-made waterways which link to the River Humber.

The Aire & Calder Navigation runs from Leeds to Goole, a distance of some 35 miles. Approximately 10 miles of its overall length lies within the CWWW area. (Note only Old Goole lies within the CWWW Area, not the whole town of Goole.) For the last 5 miles from near East Cowick to Goole, the unnavigable Dutch River, an artificial channel cut to manage the overflow from the River Don, runs next to the Aire & Calder.

The River Aire has a length of over 70 miles, rising near Malham in North Yorkshire, passing through Keighley, Bingley and Leeds, amongst other towns and cities. East of Knottingly the river runs broadly parallel to the M62, and from near Hensall until it empties into the Ouse it forms the boundary between North Yorkshire and the East Riding.

The River Ouse flows from North Yorkshire, through York and Selby before arriving at Goole. Some 7 miles east of Goole, at Trent Falls, the Ouse merges with the Trent to form the Humber. Primary Usage / Purpose Leisure and Freight Transport Navigation Authorities British Waterways (Aire & Calder), Environment Agency (Dutch River), Lower Ouse (Associated British Ports) Amenity Society Water Users Canal boats, barges and ships The Southfield Reservoir is at the junction of the Aire & Calder with the South Yorkshire Navigation and is used by the Beaver Sailing Club.

3 GYPSEY RACE Overview and Description The Gypsey Race (GR) is a chalk stream running through the Great Wold Valley “which runs eastwards from Wharram le Street to Burton Fleming, at which point it turns southwards to Rudston and from there eastwards to Bridlington” It is the only surface stream on the High Wolds. (Luttons and Weaverthorpe Parish Plan 2008). The Race disappears for some part of its course rising again in Rudston and running out to Bridlington.

The GR runs through mainly privately owned land

It is both a water course and wildlife habitat

Primary Usage / Purpose Drainage

Navigation Authority Not applicable

Amenity Society The Chalk River Trust which includes Natural England, Environment Agency, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. The Chalk Rivers Trust includes GR in the waterways which it supports. Water Users Recreational use from where the GR passes under the A165 close to Bridlington

Drainage and Floods “The East Yorkshire Chalk rivers are important for wildlife including the rare Otter and Water Vole. The chalk rivers are under increasing threat from water abstraction, land drainage, agricultural runoff, flood defences and urban development.” (Chalk Rivers Trust Website) Natural Environment Rare Northern Chalk Stream Geological record – Great Wold Valley Voles and otters Boynton Willow Garth SSSI – Wet Woodland and Geological Various Countryside Stewardship Scheme and Environmental Stewardship Scheme Agreements.

Chalk Rivers Trust carries out some or all of the following Fisheries and Ecological Surveys. Fish Stock & fish environment manipulation. Control of alien plant species. Wild Life Surveys

Built Heritage Within the potential project for the Western GR there are plans to map and document buildings of historic interest Leisure and Recreation Again within the proposed project it is hoped to develop links between villages along the GR by developing the footpath along the GR and others in the area and encourage their use by local people and others from outside the area.

4 HEDON HAVEN Overview and Description Hedon is 6 miles east of Hull, and 1.5 miles from the River Humber. The Hedon Haven was closed in the early 1970s, and the majority of the river was filled in.

The Burstwick Drain was extended to meet the old Haven; this then became the ‘main river’.

Primary Usage / Purpose Currently the Haven contributes to drainage of South Holderness. Apart from this, the Haven has no current use, and the land is derelict. Navigation Authority Not applicable Amenity Society Hedon Preservation Society takes up this role. Water Users None.

Proposals would re-open the Haven to navigation to the Humber and beyond. A marina is planned as part of the proposed redevelopment, and fishing would be introduced. Drainage and Floods Nearby Burstwick Drain forms part of the East Riding’s drainage system, but could not cope with the floods of 2007, with the village of Burstwick and the town of Hedon being two of the worst affected places in the East Riding.

Proposals include excavation to create capacity to hold waters in the river and marina, which would contribute to flood management.

Natural Environment The fields either side of the Haven are of ecological interest. Areas of saltmarsh, mudflat and subtidal flats which are located downstream of Hedon Haven (at the confluence of the Humber & Haven) are included in the Humber Estuary SSSI, candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC), Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site.

Proposals may enhance current wetland and wildlife areas and create country park at the marina itself but potential impacts on the designated sires (SSSI etc) would need to be assessed. Built Heritage Parish church of St Augustine, known as the 'King of Holderness', is a Grade 1 listed building. The Haven bed is designated an Ancient Monument. Fort Paull Museum http://www.fortpaull.com/ccm/navigation/home/ Leisure and Recreation Links to the Hornsea-West coast cycle track, and close to attractions in Hull.

Proposals would include field study facilities, boating, fishing and walking; also visitor centre, hotel, camping and caravan sites.

6 MARKET WEIGHTON CANAL Overview and Description Runs North-South from south of Market Weighton into the Humber, a distance of some 12 miles. The original canal River Head was some 2 miles outside the town, and the upper 3 miles north of Sodhouse Lock was abandoned in 1900 and is largely filled in. The canal is self-contained, with no links to any navigable waterways.

The River Foulness swings in a wide arc from north of Market Weighton, joining the Canal just north of where the M62 crosses the Canal and about a mile south of Sodhouse Lock.

Newport is the only town or village on the Canal Primary Usage / Purpose Drainage. Navigation Authority Formal powers held by the Drainage Board; in practice Environment Agency, as a main river. Technically the Humber lock still enables narrow-boat transit. Amenity Society None Water Users Fishing around Newport, canoeing (mainly between Newport and the Humber). Canal boat usage is negligible as there are closure orders at various points (Humber lock is perhaps used ‘once a year’?) Drainage and Floods The Market Weighton Drainage Board covers a drainage area of some 20,000Ha. Some 85% of the drainage district catchment area drains into the Market Weighton Canal, hence the importance of the Canal, and its main river outfall at Weighton Lock. The Canal is therefore one of the most important drainage waterways in the CWWW area Natural Environment There is a SSSI at South Cliffe Common, 2-3 miles from the canal, and a former quarry has been transformed by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust into a large wetland bird sanctuary situated at North Cave. These rely on managed water levels balanced with the needs of drainage. Otter and water vole.

The canal itself is important wildlife corridor supporting good populations of dragonflies and damselflies. Borrow pits adjacent to the canal supports the nationally scarce plant Greater Water Parsnip. The canal, its margins and adjacent wetlands also support rare birds of prey.

7 POCKLINGTON CANAL Overview and Description The canal is 9.5 miles long and runs from Canal Head near Pocklington to join the River Derwent at East Cottingwith. Six of the nine locks have been restored. Cottingwith Lock has recently been repaired and re-gated.

Melbourne is the largest village on the canal. Canal Head is close to the A1079 York-Hull road and approximately a mile south of Pocklington town centre. Primary Usage / Purpose The canal is mainly used by pedestrians and apart from the popular picnic site at Canal Head, most of the canal is peaceful. Nature conservation is a primary consideration. A small number of narrowboats and smaller craft use the canal. Navigation Authority British Waterways Amenity Society Pocklington Canal Amenity Society (PCAS) Water Users Canal boat usage is currently restricted to the stretch between the Derwent and Melbourne, but navigation will be extended to near the village of Bielby. PCAS has a trip boat ‘New Horizons’, which operates from Melbourne Arm and runs public trips on Sundays and Bank Holidays. Individuals and clubs use canoes on the canal. Angling: fishing rights are leased from British Waterways by the York and District Amalgamation of Angers. The canal contains a variety of fish. Drainage and Floods Natural Environment Nearly the whole length of the canal is included in one of three SSSIs: Derwent Ings, Melbourne & Thornton Ings, and with the upper reaches of the canal being a SSSI in its own right. Derwent Ings and Melbourne and Thornton Ings form part of the Lower Derwent valley SPA, Ramsar site and SAC. Built Heritage The canal has featured in a recent pilot Heritage Partnership Agreement. Listed structures include the locks and four road bridges. Leisure and Recreation The towpath and adjacent footpaths make for attractive walking country, especially as the area is largely flat.

A picnic area has been created around the basin at Canal Head. Sport Social and Economic Inclusion Story boards ◦ Education ◦ Health ◦ Rural isolation Other interests, interested British Waterways, PCAS, Natural England, the parties and local partnerships Environment Agency, English Heritage and ERYC work closely together regarding the management and safeguarding of the canal and hold regular liaison meetings

8 RIVER DERWENT Overview and Description This description refers to the section of the River Derwent from Malton in the north to the junction with the River Ouse in the south. Primary Usage / Purpose Water extraction for residents of York, Leeds, Hull etc. Major agricultural land usage. Navigation Authority None Sutton Lock to Barmby: Environment Agency has powers to control navigation in relation to impact on water management.

Amenity Society No formal amenity society. Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Natural England and Derwent Valley Conservation Group all play a part. Water Users This river has been the subject of one of the longest and hardest fought navigation disputes in the UK, peaking in the 1970s and 1980s with the legal dispute reaching the House of Lords. Despite this several rights remain unclear.

Malton to Stamford Bridge: this stretch of the river is used by anglers and canoeists (although there continues to be disagreement about the latter’s rights). There is no right of access for canoeists without riparian owners consent.

Stamford Bridge to Barmby and onwards: canal boat usage including into the Ouse, connecting to Selby moorings and the Trent. Although public navigation exists from Barmby to Sutton there is no established general right of navigation through Elvington Lock and on north of Sutton.

Drainage and Floods Important role in drainage; Environment Agency responsible for flood control and drainage. Natural Environment The river includes the important Lower Derwent National Nature Reserve, which covers the whole stretch of the Derwent from Sutton to Barmby.

The River itself is a designated SSSI and Special Area of Conservation from Ryemouth to Barmby. Details of River Derwent SSSI are available from Natural England’s website. SAC features include otter, water crowfoot, lamprey and bull head. Any plans, proposal etc would be subject to Appropriate Assessment under Habitat Regulations. Lower Derwent Valley is a separate SAC, Special Protection Area and Ramsar site comprising 4 separate SSSI. Some sections and declared as National Nature Reserve. Pocklington Canal forms part of two of these SSSI (and associated designations) and some is a separate SSSI as well

The whole system is a significant conservation site.

9 Vale of Pickering / Upper Derwent / River Hertford / Yedingham Drain

Overview and The Vale of Pickering runs from West to East bordered by the Description Wolds in the South and the North York Moors in the North. It is flat land that has been historically underwater and is now a mix of wetland pasture (ings) and arable land that is peaty in character. Running through the vale is the Upper Derwent which rises in the North York Moors. The Vale is largely drained land on which drains and ditches run in to the Derwent and also the River Hertford which is canalised. The Derwent is the northern boundary of the Leader area which then runs to the coast between Filey and Scarborough. The land in the vale is primarily farm land and supports significant level of biodiversity. There is a history of settlement that is Pre- Roman and has been settled since.

There is also the Yedingham Drain mid way along the vale.

Primary Usage / Farmland Purpose Navigation Authority River Derwent and River Hertford: No navigation authority, but Environment Agency has powers to control navigation in relation to impact on water management. Yedingham Drain – Yedingham Drainage Board

Navigation rights are vested in riparian owners

Amenity Society N/A Water Users The Derwent supplies drinking water via a pumping station at Irton. Growing demand means that additional water is being pumped from Bridlington in the south

Drainage and Floods Some of the area is underwater in the winter months
