Airmyn
Airmyn the prettiest village in England. It is famous for the annual maypole dance.
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

Airmyn is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated at the mouth of the River Aire with the River Ouse, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of Goole. It lies to the west of the M62 motorway and the A614 road. According to the 2011 UK census, Airmyn parish had a population of 768, a fall from the 2001 UK census figure of 795. The parish covers an area of 1,155.353 hectares (2,854.94 acres).
The parish was part of the Goole Rural District in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1894 to 1974, then in Boothferry district of Humberside until 1996.
In the Middle Ages, Airmyn was a small port, and up to the 18th century its dead were taken by boat upstream to be buried at Snaith, as it was quicker to go by river than by horse and cart.
