Chapel Haddlesey is a village and civil parish in the Selby District of North Yorkshire, England. The village used to be in the Barkston Ash Wapentake and up until 1974, it was in the West Riding of Yorkshire. [2] The village is just east off the A19 road, which crosses the River Aire on Haddlesey Bridge. [3]

Overview

At the west end of the village is the Church of England primary school, which has an age range of 4–11, and an average of 50 pupils on the roster. [4] St John the Baptist's Church, Haddlesey is at the east end of the village. [5] The church was built in 1836 on the site of a previous religious house that dated back to the 14th century. Originally the church was a chapel of ease, as it was part of the parish of Birkin. It formed its own parish, along with the nearby villages of Temple Hirst and Hirst Courtney in 1873. [6] [7]

Boats used to travel up the River Aire to the south of the village and a weir and lock (Haddlesey Old Lock) were constructed in 1702. The lock became redundant upon the opening of the Selby Canal in 1778, but the weir was kept in place to allow headwaters to build up and keep the mouth from the canal at Selby in deep water. The canal mouth is at West Haddlesey, which is just 0.62 miles (1 km) to the west of Chapel Haddlesey. [3] [8] [9]

In 2016, Haddlesey Old Lock was converted into a hydro power station to generate enough electricity for 440 homes. [10] The bottom of the lock is also the normal tidal limit for the River Aire. [3] [11]

The River Ouse is a river in North Yorkshire, England. Hydrologically, the river is a continuation of the River Ure, and the combined length of the River Ure and River Ouse makes it, at 129 miles (208 km), the sixth-longest river of the United Kingdom and the longest to flow entirely in one county. The length of the Ouse alone is about 52 miles (84 km) but the total length of the river is disputed.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Aire and Calder Navigation</span> Canal in West Yorkshire, England

The Aire and Calder Navigation is the canalised section of the Rivers Aire and Calder in West Yorkshire, England. The first improvements to the rivers above Knottingley were completed in 1704 when the Aire was made navigable to Leeds and the Calder to Wakefield, by the construction of 16 locks. Lock sizes were increased several times, as was the depth of water, to enable larger boats to use the system. The Aire below Haddlesey was bypassed by the opening of the Selby Canal in 1778. A canal from Knottingley to the new docks and new town at Goole provided a much shorter route to the River Ouse from 1826. The New Junction Canal was constructed in 1905, to link the system to the River Don Navigation, by then part of the Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation.
