- Join me as we explore the Aire & Calder Navigation from Leeds to Goole, looking for all things historical and abandoned.
In this video we look at the Abandoned Fleet Lock after the whole River Aire & Aire & Calder Navigation Canal was moved 200yds further south of the St Aidan's Mine. We explore the abandoned route of the Aire & Calder Navigation & River Aire and look at the new weir.

Interesting Vid mate, amazing how different it all looks now.
Another great vid, thank you. Its quite amazing how many people live round here and have no clue about the river breach. There is still a lot of heavy machinery under the waters of St. Aidens.
Yes, i'd love to see it drained.
A video coming soon all about the flood.
Love walking by the lock lane part of the river in Castleford, it's nice round there 👍
It is in summer. Can't wait to get back out.
@@AdventureMe nor me, intend to do more walking again 👍
The shot of the little channel through the grid at 4:50 is a fish pass. At that size probably for elvers (eel fry). They are usually filled with fibres like you see on a stiff brush, that's probably why it is so turbulent. They, including this one, are built on a gentler gradient than the weir to help the tiny eels which are about 2 inches long.
Any salmon and sea trout (if they return) should be able to swim up the weir which has a gentle gradient by their standards.
Thanks for another great our, Darren. See you on the next. Cheers buddy.
Thanks again!
Great vid, me and my mates used to fish off the lemonroyd lock in the 70s and 80s , and we also used to swim in the canal between saville pit and what we knew it as 'the basin' which was like a layby for a canal i suppose, where I believe the barges had coal tipped into them from a huge old piece of machinery, this was located on 'again ' what we knew it as 'the locies' this was a holding yard for coal trucks on railway lines that came out of the colliery when they were still barging coal up and down so the river water quality was really quite bad. Keep up the good work.
Sounds fun. I know which basin you are talking about. It's filled in now and re-landscaped.
Good video. A lot of work gone into this.
Thank you, more to come on this subject next week.
Great video, especially with the old photos showing what the area looked like years ago.
Love this vid as I live close to this area. Love the pic showing Fleet Mill and Fleet village as I was told it was called. I'm not a lover of water or bridges so I've crawled over that bridge while dog walking lol. Oh and my family call Lemon Royd marina Rosie and Jim land.
Certainly looks like it. Thanks for watching.
You like 2 be out I the open and fresh air with the videos at the coast and in the countryside firming
Keep up the good work fantastic 👍🇬🇧
Thank you, more to come on this subject next week.
Lovely really enjoyed that . My great grandparents were the agents for the Aire and Calder living at Junction house Knottingly . Went to see it in the 60's but living in the far SW don't go that far north may be one day
Glad you enjoyed it
In one of your pics in this video one can see the old Eshaldwell brewery.
Yes, one of my videos coming up this year.
I enjoyed that, thank you. Looking forward to carrying on you're journey 🙂
Thanks mate, I enjoy your stuff. Been a viewer for a while now on my other account.
@@AdventureMe Thank you 🙂
There's also a Calder branch of the Aire and Calder. I'd catorgorise the branch you're on as the Leeds branch and the other Wakefield branch which starts just upstream of Stanley Ferry. Along the Wakefield branch just above the art gallery at Chantry Bridge there's one of the most important buildings on route. It's since been transformed into flats (converted around 2010ish) it was a warehouse originally and acted as a storage for textiles that were headed for Huddersfield/Todmorden etc where a narrower boat was required to transport it than the boats that came up the A+C
Thanks for the info.
I think Fleet lock was only to serve the old mills on the river which were still in operation when the navigation was built. When the mills became disused, the lock was no longer needed.
Yes most likely. Thanks for watching.
mental i was stood where you was filming on this video today lol then this video comes up :O let me know if you see any carp knocking about in any waterways you are mooching up and down pal :P
I will do. TH-cam reads your mind by the sounds of it.
@@AdventureMe cheers mate! and i know haha
look down here directly into a fish ladder
Fish ladder??
@@AdventureMe enables trout to go upstream every wier now has them
