Double Nine Pocklington Canal Amenity Society
DOUBLE NINE POCKLINGTON CANAL AMENITY SOCIETY Autumn 2011 No. 96 2 Editor’s Notes Well, another boating season is drawing to a close. Although not for everybody. (Remember Howard‟s article in our March Issue about winter cruising) New Horizons has had another record breaking year carrying around 2000 pas- sengers on more than 80 trips. Many thanks to all our volunteers who made this possible. For our „Spotlight On‟ subject ,this issue, we move away from featuring a PCAS Member and welcome the comments from Jon Horsfall, British Waterways North East Regional Manager. His views about the coming changes facing BW make very interesting reading. I am also delighted to have a contribution from Peter Hardy who compiled the very first Canal Guide for the Pocklington Canal. Many thanks to all our contributors without whom, we would not have a newsletter. Have you got something to say? A story about the Canal or indeed any waterway subject that may be of interest to our readers. Please contact me if you can help. I am happy also to publish letters (where appropriate) if you have any comments to make. It is always good to know what you think otherwise we are just working in the dark producing what we think you want to read. In the centre of this issue is a Membership Form. I apologise for repeating what is also said by others but PLEASE do fill this in even if you think you have nothing different to tell us. Many members are not aware that we do not have the correct information on file. -

From 2011-2013 these interests fuelled a project titled Pierdom (http://pierdom.com), for which Roberts toured the British coastline capturing the country’s 58 surviving pleasure piers as well as a few ‘lost’ piers with an old-fashioned 4×5 inch field camera. In a bid to prompt a countrywide discussion on the historical significance of these seaside struc- tures an unusual national exhibition followed in 2014 whereby 13 coastal venues simultaneously exhibited up to five works from the series, including their most local pier. -

Brief History of the Selby & Driffield Railway
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SELBY & DRIFFIELD RAILWAY Prior to the building of railways, farmers in the East Riding of Yorkshire had to rely on water transport to get their produce to market. The rivers Humber and Ouse, linking York and Selby with the docks at Hull, had always been navigable, and the River Derwent was made navigable by an Act of 1701. The Market Weighton Canal, running south from Market Weighton to the Humber estuary, opened in 1778; the Pocklington Canal, running west from Pocklington to the River Derwent, opened in 1818. It was not long, however, before the arrival of railways would ensure the rapid decline in waterborne transport in the area. The Leeds & Hull Railway Company was formed in 1824 with George Stephenson appointed as engineer. He proposed three inclined planes to be worked by three stationary engines for the hilly route out of Leeds, but the remainder of the line was very nearly level. This L&HR was one of a number of contemporary projects aimed at linking the east and west sides of northern England. The Leeds & Hull scheme soon stagnated, due in part to the stock market crash of 1825. In the meantime the Knottingley & Goole Canal opened in 1826, turning Goole into a viable transhipment port for Europe. The growth of Goole as a port to rival Hull was sufficient to spur the Hull-based shareholders of the Leeds & Hull railway into action. At the end of 1828 they motioned that the railway should be built as far as Selby, with the remainder of the journey to Hull being made by steam packet, most importantly, bypassing Goole. -
