Vazon Swing Bridge is a conventional swing bridge but nearby the railway crosses to the south side of the canal on a very rare type of sliding bridge. This is the Vazon sliding railway bridge, which moves aside to allow boats to navigate down the Stainforth and Kneadby canal.

Godnow Bridge railway station was a small railway station on the line between Doncaster and Keadby. Now it is a great little bridge to cross over the Stainforth and Keadby canal.

Crowle is a small market town next to the Stainforth and Keadby Canal. It's a quaint place and has a parish church that contains the Crowle Stone runic cross shaft along with a striking Gothic revival market hall.

St Nicholas Church is a beautiful historic church and is a Grade I Listed building dating back to the 12th Century. The Nave of the church was built in the 12th Century, the South Aisle in the 14th Century and the South Porch in the 15th Century. A beautiful example of a post Norman medieval church.

Push and hold the bottom for 3 seconds, get screamed at.... run across and dont get hit by trains.....

The fine church is Grade I listed and dates mainly from the 12th and 13th centuries with earlier and later additions. It is cruciform in shape and has two side aisles. There are traces of Norman windows and pillars. It is likely that the original church at Thorne was Saxon built or at least preconquest. The lighting has recently been reordered which shows off the interior to good effect.  There are many things to see in this beautiful church including a medieval clerestory and font and a 17th century Royal Coat of Arms. See also the spectacular stained glass (including a window by Sir Henry Holiday) and the splendid rood screen (1948). The chancel has traces of Norman windows. The south porch is an ornate piece of 15th century work and a rare stone coffin can be seen nearby. It was discovered in the 18th century and is thought to date to preconquest times.
