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 3 in the series Follow Me Up the Barrow features interviews with the boatmen who would have been on the barges going up and down the Barrow canal system and beyond.
