Scalby Beck

Scalby Beck fish pass

A fish pass is located a short way downstream from Burniston Road bridge. It was built by Scalby Beck Angling Club. It was intended to be the first stage of a failed project to allow salmon and sea trout to access Burniston Beck.

It now serves only as a danger to canoeists and swimmers. No signs have been erected by the club warning of the dangers or any other safety precautions taken.

If anybody using the beck suffer loss or injury as a result of the existence of this defunct fish pass then below are the contact details of club elders responsible for its construction.
