History and General Knowledge of the Stainforth and Keadby Canal

First used in 1802. Connecting the River Trent to the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation's.

Between 1858 and right up to 1984, there was considerable work on boat building. Richard Dunston moved his boat building company from Torksey to Thorne. Dunston's would often build boats longer than Keadby Lock but could only move them through when the river levels permitted passage.
