So that makes the Ancholme a tributary of the Humber, no?


It only flows into the Humber when the sluice is lowered. The lock pits always have 1 set of gates shut so the water cannot flow into the Humber.

Quote from Wiki :-

"The Humber is a large tidal estuary on the east coast of Northern England. It is formed at Trent Falls, Faxfleet, by the confluence of the tidal rivers Ouse and Trent"

My main point being was that you cannot trust a word in the GT or GL as they make up stories as they go along. Barton does not have the River Ancholme flowing through it. I just dread to think what this new guy is going to write about Town.

I enjoyed the Geoff Ford column on Fridays, but it hasn't appeared for the past few months. I didn't notice anything at the time about it being his last one.

I just read this in GL by Luke Green

https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/the-atmosphere-electric-hopeful-mariners-5965348

While this article doesn't seem too bad he has a poor reputation overhaul especially:-

"The River Ancholme passes through Scunthorpe and Barton"
Source  https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/local-news/there-dead-birds-it-you-5791813

I really dread to think what crap comes out of his keyboard or indeed what planet he is on, if he is the next GL/GT  Town reporter.

Quoted from DB


The Humber is formed by the Ouse and Trent joining, the Ancholme has a sluice and lock pit to join the Humber.



The Ancholme is a tributary of the Humber, as is the Freshney, and the River Hull on the North Bank.

A river that flows into a larger river on its way to the sea is a tributary, the addition of sluices or locks by human beings doesn't change that fact.

The Ancholme doesn't flow through Scunny or Barton though. So the bloke is a muppet.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

The website is almost unusable. Smothered in pop ups and adverts and click bait, it’s pretty much a waste of time at best, and at worst, infuriatingly slow, irrelevant and unenlightening. What a sad decline due to commercial priorities. Like most other things.

I sold the ET in my shop for 48 years . At its peak I was selling 450 copies per day . When I retired a few years ago that was down to just under 100 . The ET went down the pan when it left Grimsby printing to go to Leicester and Derby . When I retired circulation was 16000 per day . I shudder what to think what it is today . We are lucky that we have a local daily paper . Many larger towns do not . Scunthorpe Evening edition went weekly about 10 or so years ago . The standard of reporting is really shocking since moving out of town . The only way to keep it in print daily is to buy it .

They refuse to pubkish their circulation figures,presumably too embarrassed.
