History
The canal section of the Driffield Navigation was dug around 1767. A swing bridge was built to allow access to Elm Tree Farm, and a footpath to Corpslanding, and Hutton Cranswick.
Home to a sailing club since 1928, the Brigham Sailing Club is still going strong.
After the decline of traffic on the Driffield Navigation, the swing bridge was last prised open in 1967. It was replaced by a fixed bridge in the 1970s, and was restored to full working condition again in 2003.
