The Pocklington Canal Amenity Society
40th anniversary year – 1969 - 2009

PCAS was formed in 1969 to protect and restore the canal and to promote it as an amenity for everyone to enjoy. A major objective of PCAS is full restoration of the canal. A lot has been achieved but there is plenty more to be done.

PCAS was one of the first canal societies to have a website, back in 1995. Our new website was launched in 2006. More about PCAS

An introduction to the Pocklington Canal

Church Bridge

The Pocklington Canal is a delightful rural waterway in East Yorkshire. It is nine and a half miles long, flowing from Canal Head near Pocklington to the River Derwent at East Cottingwith. The canal was completed in 1818 and is part of the inland waterways network of England and Wales. Like many of our canals it became derelict with the coming of the railways.

The Pocklington Canal is one of our finest canals for wildlife. The bridges and locks are important heritage features.
