This section highlights examples of people living with rivers in the past both in York and beyond. Ranging from stories from community groups who have their own stories to tell, to innovative approaches to living with water, to tales of things that have gone wrong – all of these examples can offer new insights and knowledge to how we might better live with our rivers.
