Background
History
The name Burton is an Old English word meaning "fortified farm" and Stather is Old Norse, meaning a landing-stage. Up to 1914, the river landing was used as a calling place by steamers between Gainsborough and Hull. A large slipway of concrete and wood to the north of Burton Stather was built in 1944 by the 79th Armoured Division (United Kingdom). It was used for testing and training with amphibious Duplex Drive tanks during the Second World War. In 2009 a voluntary group was set up to protect, restore and provide access to the old Tank Ramp on the River Trent.
