The Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation linked industrial
South Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster, with
the ports of Hull and Goole. It played a major part in the export
of coal from the many collieries in the region and the import of
grain, timber, steel and more general cargo. From the improvements
around Sheffield at the end of the nineteenth century, through
neglect during the First World War, public ownership and the
expensive modernisation scheme of the 1980s, as well as the
triumphs and failures of private enterprise, The Sheffield &
South Yorkshire Navigation documents the history and development of
the waterway. Included in this volume in a diverse collection of
over 200 images of the navigation, its traffic, and of the
surrounding area, depicting the historical and present influences
of the traditional industries of the area, from the South Yorkshire
coalfields to steelmaking and glass blowing.
