Built in 1905 the New Junction Canal, very wide and totally straight, cuts right across Humberhead and was built to carry coal to the port of Goole. There is still a tiny amount of freight traffic, and very little leisure users. It has one aqueduct over the river Went and this dramatic one over the river Don, with floodgates at either end. Unfortunately the mesh walkway proved to disturbing to the dog so I had to explore it alone.
