Bielby Arm is on the Pocklington Canal (Unnavigable Section).
Early plans for the Pocklington Canal (Unnavigable Section) between Ambersford and Tiverstone were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Arthur Green was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. The canal joined the sea near Castlefield. "Travels of The Perseverence" by John Clarke describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Nottingham Aqueduct.
The Act of Parliament for the Pocklington Canal (Navigable Section) was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by Peter Harding. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Stockport to Northampton canal at Kings Lynn, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Rochester at Newchester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bassetlaw instead. The three mile section between Barnsley and Amberscorn was closed in 1905 after a breach at Teignbridge. According to George Jones's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Manworth Embankment is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
