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 4 in the series Follow Me Up the Barrow explores the history of boatmaking and talks with local boating enthusiasts who use the Barrow.
