Fleet Street has had long connections with the gutter - so I suppose the river becoming a drain shouldn't be so surprising. Look forward to hearing about the bubbling. |

Erm... that walk you went on... "This walk is part dowsing, part water-witching, part urban geography." Any more success this time?  |
Coincidence - I was Googling on the River Fleet over the weekend. I should have saved time and just come straight here.  |
|
The phrase, 'undrinkable open sewer' made me think that somewhere there might be drinkable ones. Lovely montage. Looking forward to reading all this. Shame about the conkers |

Looking forward to this DG. I took a bus from King's Cross to Blackfriars last night and was thinking to myself that I wanted to explore this area more, especially the area around Clerkenwell (will you be dropping into the House of Detention?). |

It will be an interesting day indeed if DG succesfully dowses! dg writes: not a chance! |

Great stuff. Used to work near Fleet St, now work near Farringdon Road... Great area for exploring. |

Sue is going to be a busy lass on Sunday |

Good show DG. Really looking forward to this one. Now, how about Effra, Tyburn etc!! |
|
i am ridiculously interested in london's "hidden rivers." great topic choice! |

They were going to call the Jubilee line the Fleet line, you know, until at the very last minute, they came over all royalist. Carry on. |
