Driffield is a market town that is sometimes called the Capital of the Yorkshire Wolds – it found prosperity in the late 18th century when a canal was built linking Driffield to the sea. The River Head area became a major transportation hub but as with the rest of the canal network, it was soon to be taken over by the railways. The canal is now slowly being redeveloped with the usual conversion of warehouses into canal side apartments.
