Beautiful Early Morning Canal Walk | BEVERLEY BECK, ENGLAND.

This early morning walk beside the ancient Beverley Beck was a real treat and conjured up a real surprise when I was unexpectedly greeted by wild ponies on the adjacent pasture.

I didn't expect to be greeted by free roaming wild ponies and it left me feeling so privileged to be among them on such a wonderful morning. Beverley Beck is a short canal in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The beck runs from Grovehill Lock on the River Hull at Beverley west for about 0.8 miles into the town of Beverley. Until 1802, the beck was tidal, but the Beverley and Barmston Drain needed to pass under it, and the lock was constructed to maintain water levels over its tunnel. Beverley Beck was first mentioned in 1296, when the Archbishop of York sought to have fish-weirs removed from the River Hull, so that boats could reach Beverley. Grovehill, formerly known as Grevale and located near the junction with the River Hull, was used as a mooring place for barges. The agreement that the Archbishop had made with the fish-weir owners was then transferred to the burgesses of the Beverley Corporation and by 1344 the Beck was navigable as far as Beverley. Syntan barge which is moored up near the end of the beck was built in 1949 for Richard Hodgson Tanners in Beverley and became part of a fleet of 16 barges based on Beverley Beck. The fleet was used to carry coal and hides into the Tannery and transhipped vegetable raw materials used for tanning materials from India, South Africa and Paraguay. The Syntan also carried general cargoes such as grain, flour, paper and nuts to South and West Yorkshire. Figham Common and Pastures stretch from the south of Beverley Beck alongside the River Hull and are home to lots of free roaming wild ponies. The nearby Figham Bridge crosses Beverley and Barmston Drain which runs through Figham Common. Filmed on 27.05.2024 ► LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!
