	Driffield Navigation & River Hull (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Driffield Navigation became one of a very small number of waterways in Britain which is managed independently (it is now looked after by the Driffield Navigation Trust) and the re-establishment of the Commissioners meant that restoration of the canal could begin.
		The Driffield Canal, heading north west, is still navigable for its first mile to the village of Brigham which is on a minor (dead-end) road off the B1249.
		This pretty farm village lies on the east bank of the canal, the minor road comes to an end at the swing bridge in the village - on the west side of the bridge is farmland.

		Canals first saw use during the Roman occupation of Great Britain, and were used mainly for irrigation.
		Canal boats proved more than adequate for this task, and so canals were constructed between industries, and between cities and ports, with vast amounts of materials from manufactured goods to coal and lumber being transported.
		However, in the latter half of the 20th century the canals saw a rise in popularity through their use by holidaymakers, who often rented a 'narrowboat' and roamed the canals visiting places they passed through.

	Driffield Online Forums - scrapping canal cranes!
		The canal side is hardly a place for unsupervised children to be playing - and I doubt that any responsible parent would allow their child to climb on the crane.
		The canal is responsible for turning Driffield from a tiny village to a market town, which spawned many wonderful local characters.
		The fault is not with the cranes, or the canal, it is with the council.

	Driffield Canal
		Access to most of the Canal is easy as it runs alongside the B1249 Driffield to North Froddingham road.
		The canal holds good stocks of roach, perch, bream and trout - there is also the odd carp, pike and grayling present.
		In placed the canal is badly silted and when water levels are low it can be reduced to a mere trickle.

		The canal is still owned by descendants of Charlotta Bethall but, sadly, they are not currently able to allow boats onto their waterway.

		To the north boats can enter the Driffield Canal - most of this route is navigable.
