More on Goole
The history of Goole dates to the 17th century, when Dutch civil engineer Cornelius Vermuyden diverted the course of the River Don to drain the marshland of Hatfield Chase. It was a project under King Charles I. The project made the lower River Don navigable to small barges.The earliest mention of Goole was in 1362, when it was written as Gulle. The founding of the modern town enabled coal from the South Yorkshire Coalfields to be transported to other parts of the country. In the 19th century, a number of railway lines were built, helping to cement Goole's position as a coal transportation hub.
Today Goole is a minor industrial town. The two major employers in town are Guardian Industries and Tesco, which has a distribution hub here.
