RIVERS: River Aire

World at One

Available for over a year

For the latest in our series on rivers, we turn to Leeds and to listener Rachael Unsworth, a tour guide. One of her tours tells the city's history from the perspective of its river - the Aire. She says the name of the river is a Celtic word, or it could be even older, meaning "Strongly Flowing". (Photo: Looking through Railway Viaduct On East Elevation And River Aire Credit: Getty Images)
