Talking about the Trent

Philip Riden spoke expertly before me about the wider aims of the project and, after lunch, Dr Wendy Freer brought the working conditions for those on the river to life. Finally, Les Reid of the Newark Heritage Barge took the audience through the history of his floating heritage centre; one of the last working Trent barges named ‘Leicester Trader’.
