Back in the day pretty much any commercial premises next to the river allowed their "stuff" to run off into it. Luptons on Grange Lane used to leach their soluble oils and lubricants into it too. There was of course legislation but not too much policing. Have to say the water authorities have got their act together of late, that coupled with the lack of industry in the town. Silver linings and clouds in whatever order suits
