Seen from the bridge carrying Ferry Lane, the drain is the main feature of a land drainage scheme authorised in 1798 to the west of the River Hull. It runs for about 15 miles, from near Driffield to close to the centre of the city of Hull (Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverley_and_Barmston_Drain ).
