The River Ouse meets the River Trent at Trent Falls, this confluence is where the Humber begins and ends.
We’ve explored the Ouse and it’s confluences from barge, train and aeroplane and this chapter goes some way to explain why What Makes the Humber is an on-going project.
This chapter covers the rivers Ouse, Aire, Derwent and Pocklington Canal. The Pocklington Canal photographs are in a second gallery below the first gallery key.
