The Lost Kippax Locks & Canal - Can We Find It?
Join me as we explore the Aire & Calder Navigation from Leeds to Goole.
In this video we look at the Abandoned Kippax Lock on the abandoned section of the Aire & Calder Navigation. On the way, we take a look at the abandoned pub the Caroline Inn and it's accompanying Swing Bridge and houses.

many thanks for the video shame how those keepers houses were lost
Walked around here yesterday (12-02-22) with Lynette, too wet to cycle around St Aidans.
An amazing video. It’s a shame that no one from these locks (employees}, are not around to fill in the blanks and questions. Thanks for the video, Darren. Cheers buddy.
hi been thier before
You need wayyyyy more views! These videos are amazing
Keep up the good work man, really enjoying your video's, Better than anything on TV and here in Nova Scotia we have 11ty billion channels, and being a Yorkshire man born and bred i am just loving a piece of home,
"1989? But that was just yest- oh."
That's an excellent video, even if there's pretty much no trace of what you were showing us! It's amazing how much things change in only 30 years.
Blimey. Lived in Kippax 28 years knew nothing as much as this. Fascinating. Thank you.
Really enjoying these videos, finding them fascinating and also a bit sad that the old canal and locks have been filled in/demolished. Just think about the time and work that would have took to build them and also the support it would have given the local industries.
Worth noting the 'new' lock at Lemonroyd is so deep because the Kippax locks were removed in the reconstruction. It had to cope with the fall of both the old Lemonroyd Lock and the Kippax Locks combined. Lemonroyd is therefore one of the deepest locks on the canal system.
Hi buddy - Where did you get the cover photo for this video? I can see the Caroline Inn - in the background
Hi, My great grandfather and grandfather were lock keeper at Kippax and my mum lived there. When you are in the trees and you say you are on top of where the lock stood you are about 15m out, the raised embankment you walked along is where the canal was so the lock would have been there. Regards, Kev.
Love your explores 😎
This video is a great help to my understanding of the old River Aire and Navigation. I plotted some of this route when I discovered the old lock in St Aidans nature reserve.
wow what a video! Brings back memories good and bad for me when I lived in Allerton Bywater and I used to run on the very paths you are walking from Allerton into Leeds and back. Thanks for the vid and the information I never knew about!
Great video all that land was my play ground as a kid great times & fun
nice piece of info there thanks
such a shame! they've ruined it...a beautiful picturesque place turfed over, covered in marshland and brambles, all in the name of "nature reserve!" Should've left it as it was and preserved it.
I;m loving your new channel I dont know how many time i have ridden past stAidens without knowing some of the history, it will make my rides out more interesting now
