'Districts of England'
' The River Thames'-4
' The Upper Thames '
S. P. B. MAIS
Today that popular broadcaster, S. P. B. Mais, who gave the first talk in this series on the Thames Valley, is to talk about the Upper Thames. Where does it rise ? What was travelling by water like in the past ? Schools will hear about the Thames as a busy highway ; about Cricklade as a river port; about the Thames and Severn Canal; about Thames boating today, and about canoeing and locks and bridges.
They will hear about a coaching inn, and Godstow Nunnery. What can be seen from Port Meadow. And the story of Fairford's glass, and the story of William Morris.
