 HISTORY of the DEARNE & DOVE CANAL
Share capital of £60,000 was agreed for the Dearne and Dove and the demand for the purchase of shares was so high that a split was agreed of one third to landowners on the line of the canal, one third to residents within seven miles and one third to Don Navigation shareholders.

Although the Dearne and Dove's decline was continuous, small sections of it remained in existence for longer than the Barnsley Canal.
