Barge traffic has for long been a feature o Goole’s port activities, the Yorkshire inland port being connected with the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal, enabling transshipment to and from seagoing vessels. For a long a part of the port’s infrastructure has been these barge lifts, allowing bulk commodities to be tipped directly from a lighter into a vessel’s hold. The Victorian Gothic spire of St. Jon’s church (1843-1848) is also conspicuous, still with a liberal coating of soot.
