Its mission was to 'Use the heritage, arts and environment of the Yorkshire waterways as a resource for learning and regeneration'. The museum also hosted a Tom Pudding hoist which is grade II listed.[2] This allowed little tub boats carrying coal from South Yorkshire to be unloaded at Goole Docks and put into ocean-going vessels.[3]
Liquidationedit
In early May 2019 it was announced that, as a consequence of ongoing funding shortfalls, the museum and its associated charity, The Sobriety Project, were insolvent and that the museum would close on 15 May.[4][5]
