Help preserve the history of the River Leen for the future, by sharing your own memories, all while exploring historical archival photos!
Examine images drawn from the archives of local businesses such as Gerard’s/Cussons and institutions such as the QMC. Reminiscences collected at the event will be mapped to the course of the River Leen to examine how its meaning for local residents has shifted over time.
