Bedale Beck at Leeming Lock

In the late 18th century it was planned to make the Bedale Beck navigable from the River Swale to the town of Bedale. A harbour was constructed in Bedale and a lock at Leeming, the remains of which lie between the trees in the foreground of this picture. Unfortunately the plans to make the Swale and Bedale Beck navigable were never completed.
