Talk Title: The River Trent: From Source to Sea

Join Mike Burton as he traces the story of the River Trent, the great waterway at the heart of England. For centuries, the Trent has shaped the nation’s history — a vital artery for trade, a source of innovation, and a natural north–south dividing line.

Along its banks, kings, queens, inventors, and explorers have left their mark, yet the river remains a mysterious presence, quietly shaping the landscape and lives around it.

A former journalist and history teacher, Mike is well known for his fascinating illustrated talks, combining rich historical insight with captivating storytelling.
