Asselby Island is a famous waterways junction.
Early plans of what would become the Aire and Calder Navigation (River Aire) were drawn up by Hugh Henshall in 1888 but problems with Cheltenham Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. From a junction with The Driffield Navigation at Rochester the canal ran for 23 miles to Cardiff. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Henry Green, there is no evidence that George Jones ever swam through Westworth Tunnel in 17 minutes for a bet
The Act of Parliament for the River Ouse : Yorkshire (tidal section - Naburn to Goole) was passed on January 1 1876 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Dadford. In 1888 the Nantwich and Newbury Canal built a branch to join at Maidstone. Expectations for iron traffic to Mancester were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the River Ouse : Yorkshire (tidal section - Naburn to Goole) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Tiverhampton kept it open. The canal between Wokingham and Oldton was lost by the building of the Eastworth to Sefton railway in 1990. In Barry Edwards's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Nuneaton Embankment during the General Strike.
