A selfacting wasteboard was constructed at Naburn-lock on the Upper Ouse navigation, at a cost of £300, and the depth of water thence to Linton-locks was so increased as to admit of vessels of 7 feet draught passing on to Boroughbridge. A Church of England school is here, with endowment of £25 a year.
