Yorkshire Waterways Museum information


Yorkshire Waterways Museum

The Yorkshire Waterways Museum was a multi-award-winning museum in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.[1]

Its mission was to 'Use the heritage, arts and environment of the Yorkshire waterways as a resource for learning and regeneration'. The museum also hosted a Tom Pudding hoist which is grade II listed.[2] This allowed little tub boats carrying coal from South Yorkshire to be unloaded at Goole Docks and put into ocean-going vessels.[3]
