Follow Me Up the Barrow tells the stories and experiences of the river by people that know it best… the fishermen, the old boatmen, the lock-keepers, rowers, canoeists and river ‘guardians’. Through the accounts of their experiences a unique, informative and historical picture of the Barrow is compiled through this radio series.

Programme 2 in the series Follow Me Up the Barrow features interviews with the Lock Keepers, who over the years operated the locks for the barges to pass through on their way up and down the river.
