Navigation on the Newark Branches of the Trent
Navigation on the Newark Branches of the Trent Upstream of Newark the River Trent splits into two branches. The current navigation, managed by Canal & River Trust goes directly through Newark, while an separate branch of the river heads north past Kelham. There is a strong history of navigation on both of these branches of the Trent, predating the age of navigation-related Acts of Parliament. The evidence below strongly supports the existence of a long-standing common law Public Right of Navigation (PRN) on both arms of the river th 1 leading back to the 12 century. In the timeline below the two branches are referred to as: ● Kelham Branch – the north-western branch, passing Averham, Kelham and South Muskham ● Newark Branch – the current Canal & River Trust (CRT) managed navigation, running through Newark 1 Although this document presents a range of evidence of long-standing use of both branches for the Trent by Newark, only a court can give a definitive statement regarding the existence of a Public Right of Navigation (PRN). Any evidence that either adds to or contradicts that presented in this document would be welcomed - please send to [email protected] Timeline Pre-1100s The Trent has a long history of navigation, from Roman Britain through the Middle Ages. Dug-out canoes from pre-Roman Britain have been found upstream of Nottingham and along the river. Such records do not record which specific branch of the river is used (Note C). 1100s First record of navigation rights being specifically recognised on the Kelham branch (Note B). First specific evidence found of navigation on the Kelham branch - note that this is before the first evidence for the Newark branch (see 1347).
