The 18th&nbsp;century saw a [[canal]] network form, the [[River Derwent, Yorkshire|River Derwent]] was canalised as far upstream as Malton and was linked to Pocklington by the cutting of the [[Pocklington Canal]]. Other canals were cut to join the towns of [[Beverley]] and Driffield to the [[River Hull]], which was also improved to aid navigation. The [[Market Weighton Canal]] connected the town directly to the [[Humber Estuary]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Allison|1976|p=214}}</ref> The canals and canalisation of the county's rivers helped aid drainage to low-lying and ill-drained areas.<ref>{{cite book|last=Duckham|first=Baron F.|title=The inland waterways of East Yorkshire, 1700–1900|year=1972|publisher= East Yorkshire Local History Society|location=York|isbn=0900349298|page=3}}</ref>

The 19th&nbsp;century saw a rail network created. An early rail link was constructed between [[Filey]] and [[Bridlington]] in 1847 and the Malton to Driffield railway was the first to cross the Wolds in 1853.<ref>{{Harvnb|Allison|1976|p=217}}</ref> Holidaymakers on the rail network expanded the coastal resorts of Bridlington, [[Hornsea]] and [[Withernsea]]. These routes also served the agricultural community in helping to get products to the expanding industrial markets to the port of [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] for export and the [[West Riding of Yorkshire]] for further production. The landscape in the East Riding has changed little since the [[enclosure]] of the open fields in the 18th and 19th&nbsp;centuries, except for some [[hedge]]rows removed to allow for the use of large [[agricultural machinery]] in the 20th&nbsp;century.<ref>{{Harvnb|Allison|1976|p=257}}</ref>
