		As the River Dearne flows through Barnsley, we were able to walk to it by sensibly walking through the town centre.
		During discussions in class before the trip, we were uncertain as to whether the depth of the river would remain the same, or whether it would be deeper in some places than others.
		Once the string went slack, we knew it had reached the river bed, and so we hauled the string and weight back up, where we measure the wet part of the string to determine how deep the river was.

		THIS river rises on the south side of Cut Hill, on Dartmoor Forest, in the county of Devon; from whence it pursues a southerly direction to Two Bridges, and thence, south-eastwardly, by New Bridge and Buckfastleigh, to a mill weir about a mile above the town of Totness, to which place it is navigable.
		This river, as a navigation, is the private property of Earl Fitzwilliam, and was, by his ancestor, the Marquis of Rockingham, let on lease to Mr.
		As a tideway river it is navigable for some distance; and at Cambus Quay, about one furlong from the mouth of the river, there is 12 feet water at neap tides, and a rise at spring tides of 20 feet.

	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.
		The Dearne and Dove Canal was always, after the arrival of the railways, a liability to whoever owned it.
		Although the Dearne and Dove's decline was continuous, small sections of it remained in existence for longer than the Barnsley Canal.

	Dearne & Dove Canal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Dearne and Dove Canal was to be built from the River Don Navigation near Swinton heading north west into Barnsley.
		Although the Dearne and Dove Canal was owned by a completely independent company, it was strongly promoted by the River Don Navigation Company who wanted to increase their profits by accessing mines not currently in easy reach of their waterway.
		The Dearne and Dove Canal will be (by far) the most difficult of the two to restore as it has many blockages and missing links.

	History of Barnsley Canal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It was a broad canal with 15 locks between the River Calder and the main level at Walton.
		On the south side of this aqueduct was the junction with the Dearne and Dove Canal, which opened in 1804 and ran to the River Don Navigation at Swinton.
		The Barnsley Canal Group was formed in 1984, which became the Barnsley Dearne and Dove Canals Trust in 2000, to promote the restoration of this important historic element in the region's industrial heritage and the reinstatement a vital "missing link" in the national waterways network.

		But even on those Yorkshire rivers where otters clung on, such as the Ure and the Wharfe, populations are small, and many rivers have huge stretches with none at all.
		The good news is that such signs have been recently found on the Don in south Yorkshire and an otter was seen on the river Dearne, a tributary of the Don.
		Other once heavily industrial rivers on which otter signs have been found are the lower reaches of the Calder and the Aire.

		Over the years the river became filthy, with a narrow and shallow watercourse incapable of carrying a high volume of water.
		Further down the River at Darfield Bridge water flooded over the main Barnsley/Doncaster road to such a depth that traffic had to be diverted.
		The Dearne and Dove Canal was drained and a Wombwell by-pass road was built along the former watercourse.

		He incorrectly showed the river Dearne as passing through Ardsley Gap at Stairfoot, and marked the dry valley as 'Drax'.
		Unfortunately by still showing the river Dearne as passing through Stairfoot many of the details in Darfield area were misplaced.
		In 1805 the Dearne and Dove Canal was opened to link the Barnsley Canal to coal mines in the Dove valley, and by 1854 the South Yorkshire Railway had built a line through Ardsley Gap with a station at Stairfoot.

		Almost immediately after leaving the junction the canal used to cross the River Dearne on a 5 arched stone aqueduct but this was demolished after the BTC abandonment because it was found to be straining under the weight of the disused waterway.

		My purpose in the river was to look for water vole, or at least their field signs.
		The task is to identify where the voles are, and are not, along the river Dearne corridor from Cudworth down to the confluence with the river Don.
		Instead it is piles of feeding remains: two- to four-inch lengths of grass, reed, rush or almost any green plant, left behind at a favourite spot, usually under cover.

		Once, when Barnsley was dominated by industries such as coal mining, this was one of the dirtiest rivers in the region.
		This is a good point to study the difference between the plantation woodland (to the left of the path) and semi-natural woodland (to the right, on the slope down to the river).
		This area of woodland on wet ground adjacent to the river is dominated by Willow, a tree that unlike Oak and Birch is adapted to conditions where the ground is at least partly waterlogged.

		Plans to opencast a stretch of the Dearne Valley in Barnsley (South Yorkshire, England) should be halted until an Iron Age fort is located and preserved, councillors have said.
		Coun Michael Stokes said a full survey should be conducted to locate the ancient settlement, which is on the banks of the River Dearne, before UK Coal started 'tearing up' parts of the valley.
		He first learned of the remains of the fort in the 1980s when he was involved in the derelict land reclamation of the area.
