One of the annoyances of being a local history researcher in Goole is that several boundary changes and 'clear outs' have resulted in the town's archives being scattered over a number of different archives. As a result Goole documents and records can be found in Goole Library and Museum, Yorkshire Waterways Museums, and archives and museums based in Beverley, Doncaster, Hull, London and Wakefield, as well as several other locations. Other records can be considered lost, and a fire in the Town's local board offices in 1891, means that little survives before this date anyway.
In terms of Heritage the standard reference point for informing planning application decisions is to refer to the Heritage Environment Records (HERs). However, if you search for these records on-line, using the Heritage Gateway, you will find that the East Riding of Yorkshire Council Records (being Goole's local authority) are not available on-line. Goole's HERs, still referred to as Sites and Monuments Records (SMRs), are located at the Humber Archaeology Partnership offices, based in Hull. Unfortunately the records are not available online, but are available here:

1987. In 1993 the structure was demolished. Keith Miller reports having an

was completed on the ground that the remains were a ‘dangerous structure’

The records compose of two main archives. The first is the Department of Environment's (pre-predecessor to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport for managing Listed Buildings) survey for Listed Buildings undertaken in the late 1980s and the second, the National Buildings Record survey undertaken in the early 1990s. The time of the surveys was a transition period for Goole with a number of Victorian structures still surviving on Goole Docks, which were recorded as part of the surveys. It was a period of 'cat and mouse', as soon as an interest was taken in a building steps would be taken to demolish it by the Port Authorities. A number of these structures were Listed at the time, but several were later demolished. Sadly a larger number of the buildings recorded as part of the National Buildings Record were not Listed and have now been demolished. The SMR records still record a large number of buildings surviving in Goole and many have pictures, which can be used as an informative record of unauthorised works to Listed buildings.
