I am more than happy to give my talk which is also illustrated with hard copies of many maps relation to the area to local groups and organisations. Please contact me on angus@townley.com or on my phone 07739 92835 I have also led day trips around the area looking at what can be seen from the different phases of the drainage.<\/div>\n

I have uploaded my presentation so that you can see it.;<\/div>\n
