Everything about Aike Beck totally explained
Aike Beck or the
Lockington Navigation left the
River Hull 0.4 miles (250 m) above the junction with
Leven Canal. Navigable for no more than 2 miles from the River it was built to carry mainly coal, and had two
canal locks taking craft of 40 feet by 8 feet 10 inches
The navigation was constructed in the late
1700s by the Hotham family who owned large amounts of land in the area. In 1809
engineer William Chapman reported to the drainage commissioners that the locks on the navigation had raised water levels and caused flooding.
During the 1990s, Aike and
Arram Beck were altered, removing Aike Beck's connection to the River Hull completely. A small indentation in the bank can be seen where it used to enter.
The junction of Aike Beck marks the start of the
Driffield Navigation, downstream it's known as the
River Hull.
