The Rivers of Time - ISBN 0 95306037-3 - Price £8.50
A controversial investigation into the evidence of historic water levels in and around the City of Derby which questions the validity of previous historians in determining the development of the town since the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons.

The Viking influence is also examined as is the belief that it was they who changed the name of the town. An examination of spelling examples suggests that the Viking name was recorded in "Old English" and that this may have led to some confusion regarding the interpretation

The book is on sale at Derby Museum book shop and the Derby Cathedral Book Shop. Follow this link for a further review.The Rivers of Time
