Goole Centenary Inaugural Service
Sunday 27th June, 1926
The Knottingley to Goole Canal, the port and the embryonic town of “New Goole” was opened for business on 20 July 1826. One hundred years later the people of Goole celebrated that very important birthday in a grand manner.
The first event to take place in what would be a week of celebration was the Inaugural Service which took place at the Parish Church, Goole at 10.30am on Sunday 27th June when the preacher was the The Venerable, The Archdeacon of Doncaster.
We are indebted to Susan Butler for sharing her Centenary Scrapbook which holds a copy of the booklet Order of Divine Service which has allowed us to include it in this collection, and make it available for you to view it for yourself.
Publication permission for copyright images
We acknowledge that copyright images are being shown for which no explicit permission to publish has been given to this Society. Many of the digital images shown had originally been produced with the knowledge and permission of the now defunct Yorkshire Waterways Museum from original photographs deposited there for public display. Following the closure of that organisation in 2019 and the break up of their collection those original photographs have disappeared and have effectively been lost to the public.
Through an incredible stroke of good fortune digital copies of those images were donated to this Society in 2022 allowing our volunteers to finally achieve the wishes of those photographers and collectors who had made the original donations.
