Yorkshire Waterways Museum

The Yorkshire Waterways Museum is a multi-award winning museum in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.^[1]

Its mission is to 'Use the heritage, arts and environment of the Yorkshire waterways as a resource for learning and regeneration'. The museum also hosts a Tom Pudding hoist which is grade II listed.^[2] This allowed little tub boats carrying coal from South Yorkshire to be unloaded at Goole Docks and put into ocean-going vessels.^[3]
