"The River Stink" Stinks no more. I can remember as a lad in the late fifties and early sixties of the last century when its colour and odour changed daily depending on the weather and whatever the mills upstream from Bull Bridge chose to pour into it. Happily, this has all changed and the only stuff that goes into it now is runoff from the surrounding fields and streets. The name however remains and is a "colourful" reminder of times past.
