	Driffield Navigation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Driffield Navigation is an extension to the River Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
		An Act for improving the Navigation of the River Hull and Frodingham Beck, from Aike Beck Mouth to the Clough, on the East Corner of Fisholme, and for extending the said Navigation, from the said Clough, into or near the Town of Great Driffield, in the East Riding of the County of York.
		The major obstruction to the renewal of the navigation to Driffield was incurred in 1967, when the County Council replaced the bridge which carries the public right of way over the Navigation at Wansford with a fixed bridge.

	Driffield Navigation & River Hull (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Driffield Navigation is actually made up of a number of linked waterways situated in East Yorkshire to the north of the Humber.
		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 navigation begins in the Dun River, near the village of Tinsley, thence by the Tinsley Cut, which was made to avoid a bend in the river, under powers of the act of 12th George I.; and, at the distance of five furlongs it locks down into the river.
		Hence the navigation is continued along the river, about half a furlong beyond the junction with the Dearne, to a place in the river called the Devil's Elbow, where a new river channel, one hundred and thirty yards in length, is to be opened.
		The length of the navigation from Tinsley to Doncaster, by the old course, is twenty-one miles, and by the course as it is intended to be improved, it will be eighteen miles only, with a fall of 67 feet 6 inches, by eleven locks.

	15th August 1940 - The Luftwaffe bombs RAF Driffield
		This romantic perception that “Driffield’s War” must have been idyllic is not shared by those who remember August 15th 1940, when a warm summer's day was dramatically interrupted by the reality of war.
		However, due to inaccurate navigation and strong resistance from RAF fighters from Leconfield and Church Fenton, many German aircraft failed to reach inland, with some bombers jettisoning their bombs over Bridlington.
		Our target is Driffield Airfield on the east coast of central England, one of the most important bases of the enemy air force.
