Louth Navigation

Alvingham, Autumn 2006. Image © Louth Navigation Trust

Running for 11.75 miles between Louth and Tetney Haven on the River Humber the Louth Navigation was plied by Humber Keels bringing coal and general goods in and taking wool and corn back out until serious flooding shortly after World War I damaged the works.

There are proposals mooted by the Louth Navigation Trust to fully restore the navigation which, despite being legally abandoned in the 1920s, still remains largely in water and with many of its artefacts intact. Navigation Warehouse was reopened in 1999.
