    Very relaxing. If you do go to Hull (or actually Beverley) you will see several more Scherzer rolling bridges - including some that still work. (Photos on my blog - June 2021).

    I love these amazing iron bridges . We have a bascule bridge in my home town of Renfrew , Scotland . On the rare occasions when its opened , the whole town comes out to watch. Thanks as always for sharing xxx

    Yes, just outside the marina near the service area (free) or further round/in the marina (charge).
    I’m hoping to get over on Sunday if you’re there I’ll say hello.

      Thank you, the CRT moorings were full so we cam back a bit to the canal side. Didn't see you yesterday but we will be here for a few more days as we wait for the tide.

    My family are originally from W.Stockwith and worked the Chesterfield canal many years ago. My grandfather actually met my grandmother whilst travelling through Retford. Bit of local history on the treacherous Trent, people used to swim between the two Stockwith's to visit the opposite pub.

      Oh wow. It's not that treacherous but I definitely wouldn't fancy swimming across. Especially after a drink.

    I made the same trip down the Chesterfield up to Keadby via the Trent and on to Doncaster in a 20ft day boat. The year was 1976 and I was 16 years of age. No Internet communication or vhf.

      My boat had a small sail supported by a mast on a tabernacle. Mechanical propulsion was a 4hp Villiers outboard. Teenagers in those days were pragmatic and we always found a way. Today I'm hopeless with the Internet, maybe I can't be bothered!

    Had forgotten about the interrogations. You WERE gone awhile! Glad you are back and I have got to say, Michael, that I can only take your word for winds and other navigational struggle as you move the boat so smoothly, entering locks and going around obstacles so smoothly, like it is a route you take multiple times each day. It is never apparent that an issue is interfering with your tiller engagement. Salute!

      That make sense. I just find it so strange that there are twin villages on opposite sides of the river and it is a multi mile drive to get from one to the other.

    It’s been several decades since the bridge over the Trent, at Keadby has been lifted. Last century for sure. No commercial shipping of a size that would require it lifted has ventured further upstream than the wharves below the bridge since the later part of the 20th. Century.

    • @composimmonite3918
      @composimmonite3918 Місяць тому +3

      It last lifted in 1956. It was permanently fixed in position in 1960.

    • @arnolddill
      @arnolddill Місяць тому +2

      @@composimmonite3918 Thanks for the precise dating 👍 that four year interval suggests that it simply ran to the natural end time of any need to open? I.e. there simply was no further requirement for larger craft to go upstream after ‘56. Do you know if that’s the case?

    If you come to America, do not go on the Mississippi river. Or Lake Michigan or Lake Huron any great lakes. That's the nicest waterway I think I've ever seen. I have a 62 foot trawler and that is the nicest smoothest best river I've ever seen in my life. I've never seen any rivers in England or that rough. They tend to remind me of the drainage canal that goes around Chicago. Eventually, it ends up taking you down to the Mississippi river. And that's what the Trent reminds me of.

      The counter weight you commented on is a water tank. When needed it was filled with water eventually this would lift the bridge.
