	Environment Agency - River Ancholme
		Situated in North Lincolnshire, the River Ancholme is navigable for 27 km (17 miles) from the entrance of the River Humber at South Ferriby to Harlam Lock at Snitterby.
		The lush Ancholme Valley has a rural character and lies within a broad clay vale, between the higher ground of the Lincolnshire Edge in the west and the Lincolnshire Wolds in the east.
		In the past the Ancholme was an important route for the transportation of cargo, linking rural areas with the industrial towns of Yorkshire and beyond.

	River Humber Estuary, River Humber Bridge, RiverHumber.com
		The Humber with its canals and tributaries, (which include the rivers Hull, Ancholme, Derwent, Ouse and Trent) run off an area of 9,550 square miles (24,750 square kms.), which is about 20% of the total land area in England.
		The Humber is a large tidal estuary and extremely turbid, the estuary has a brown appearance due to this high turbidity, and is often thought of as a dirty river.
		The inland port of Goole (which is approximately 45 miles (75 Kms) inland) on the River Ouse, owes it's growth to the formation of the canals, while the original growth of the major ports was mainly due to the railways.

	University of Hull, Department of Geography
		Several themes of Early Medieval or Medieval use of the wetlands of the Ancholme and lower Trent valleys were addressed, including the exploitation of the wetlands from the higher and better drained Isle of Axholme, riverbank settlement in the lower Trent valley and monastic settlements in the Ancholme valley.
		As far as the development of wetlands in the Ancholme valley is concerned, the identification of fully marine diatoms in the sand near the base of the deep palaeochannel at Brigg suggests that sometime before c.
		5000 BC the Ancholme valley north of the Brigg constriction was an inlet of the Humber estuary.

		The name reflects that of the southern limit to the kingdom's territory, which was the River Humber, and in the 12th century writings of Henry of Huntingdon the kingdom was defined as one of the Heptarchy of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.
		The later earldom was bounded by the River Tees in the south and the River Tweed in the north (broadly similar to the modern North East England) and was recognised as part of England by the Anglo-Scottish Treaty of York in 1237.
		The remainder, to the north of the rivers became Tyne and Derwent, became Northumberland where the political powers of the Bishops of Durham were limited to only certain districts, and the earls continued to rule as clients of the English throne.

		He was consulted and reccommended that the works specified by his father should be completed and that the river should be widened and deeped to double its capacity.
		He surveyed the river and warned that, unless drastic action was taken immediately, not only would the navigation fail but also the lands between Lincoln and Boston would be lost for want of draining.
		He surveyed the river at Lynn with regard to the shifting sands that were proving a hazzard to navigation.

	Humber
		Two fortifications were built in the mouth of the river in 1914, the Humber Forts.
		When the sea level was lower in the Ice Age, the Humber was a freshwater river that could have flowed up to 30 miles or more according to sea level before it reached the sea or joined the Wash River.
		As its name recurs in the Humber Brook near Humber Court in Herefordshire or Worcestershire, the word ''humbr-'' may be a word that meant "river" or similar in an aboriginal language that was spoken in England before the Celt s came (compare Tardebigge).

	Barton upon Humber
		North of the riverbank at South Ferriby, close to the outlet of the River Ancholme.
		It is believed that the island may have been created because of the wreck of a French Schooner though there were also some alterations to the outlet of the River Ancholme which may have played their part.
		In the 1970's the channel moved to the South side of the island thus causing seagoing vessels to navigate the narrow straight between the island and the South bank of the river.

		The main earthworks and pre-earthworks drainage from the River Trent eastwards for approximately 1km were constructed as part of the Advance Earthworks Contract already described.
		Prior to the construction of the New River Ancholme and major drainage works in the 1630's the Ancholme valley or level was a marshy swamp and would have reverted to such condition had it not been for the drainage improvement works carried out under John Rennie and his son between 1800 and 1844.
		Eight bridges were constructed, the new River Ancholme Bridge, a 3 span structure, being the largest with its centre span crossing the navigable river channel.

		Greater danger is caused because the sandbanks and the river bed are constantly in a state of change, and what was a safe deep water channel one month, may well not be so the next.
		The most dramatic example of the constantly-changing river is Read’s Island, and the channel to the south between the ‘mainland’ and the island.
		Whether this creation was just part of the pattern described, or the new cut of the River Ancholme playing its part, or even the sinking of a French vessel cannot be certainly stated, but by the early part of the 19th century, the island was coming into existence and grass was observed growing there.
