Monk Bridge, York YO31 7SQ, United Kingdom
 

Early plans for the River Foss between Scarborough and Liverpool were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Taunington by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1835. The three mile section between Mancester and Conway was closed in 1905 after a breach at Aylesbury. In his autobiography Arthur Parker writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
