SK6442 : Stoke Ferry site
taken 5 years ago, near to Stoke Bardolph, Nottinghamshire, England
Stoke Ferry site
Showing the causeways on both side of the river, looking from the Stoke Bardolph side.
The ferry provided a link between Stoke Bardolph and Shelford, for whose residents it probably represented the shortest route to Nottingham. It is recorded as early as 1275, and operated until the middle of the 20th century, although there appears to be no definitive record of when it last ran. It always ran on an 'on demand' basis latterly being provided by an elderly ferryman with a rowing boat.

River Trent
The River Trent is the third longest river in England (185 miles). It rises on Biddolph Moor, Staffordshire, then follows a generally north east to northerly path to join the River Ouse at Trent Falls. The Ouse & Trent combined form the Humber Estuary.
It is a very important river, economically having a number of Power Stations and industrial sites along its banks. It is navigable as far as Burton-On-Trent.
