Little Reedness
Little Reedness the prettiest village in England. It is well known for the church of St Cecil Thomas.
Early plans of what would become the River Ouse : Yorkshire (tidal section - Goole to Trent Falls) were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1816 but problems with Castlepool Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The River Ancholme at Bridgend the canal ran for 37 miles to Derby. In Charles Clarke's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Arun Aqueduct during a thunderstorm.

During its history it has been variously known as The Angel Inn, The Ferry Inn and Ferryman's Cottage, with a boathouse by the road on the river side occasionally functioning as a makeshift mortuary for bodies pulled from the River Ouse.Local tradition holds that the body of a murderer executed at York was hung in a gibbet by the yard to the south on Church Lane.[Many thanks to Lorraine Cottingham for information] by Richard Croft – 28 October 2009](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/56/19/1561930_2547a896_120x120.jpg)
