This book is part of the Images of England series, which uses old photographs and archived images to show the history of various local areas in England, through their streets, shops, pubs, and people. In this book, the author presents a unique record of this navigation's history, in operation from 1704 to the present day. By the early 19th century, the Leeds to Goole navigation was linking up with other new waterways in the area, and carried millions of tons of cargo annually, making it one of the most important waterways in the land.
