In the summer of 2017, Marsha O’Mahony travelled up and down the Wye in Herefordshire recording the experiences of the people who have lived and worked on the river, or simply been drawn to its waters in search of recreation or a jam jar of minnows. Thanks to then a wealth of memories surfaced, of a much-loved river teeming with often startling tales, and peopled by a rich assortment of characters, many long-gone. Stories, photographs and artefacts have been gathered and preserved, and the voices of the ‘ordinary’ men and women of the Wye now have their place in the history of the river.
