Share your memories of the River Don

You can get the chance to tell your tale at a special event on Tuesday, November 29, organised by the Don Catchment Rivers Trust.

People are invited to the open evening which is part of the Heritage Lottery-funded Living Heritage of the River Don project.

The evening will begin with an update on the project that is trying to being salmon back to the river and improve the riverside.

This will be followed by an informal session where people will be able to chat about their memories of the Don and tell their stories.

The open evening will be held at the trust’s offices at St Catherine’s House, Tickhill Road, Balby, from 6pm to 7.30pm.

People are being urged to bring along old photographs of the river.

Rachel Walker, community engagement officer, said: “A big part of the Living heritage of the River Don project is to reconnect people and communities to the river, and this will include a heritage walking trail with accompanying leaflet, website, information points, and audio trails. The trust are very keen that this should include people’s memories and local knowledge of the river.”
