Description
Poster print featuring the major river names of Northern England (Yorkshire, Lancashire, the Lake District, Northumberland and Durham) with an explanation of their meaning and probable origin.

The inset map shows the distribution of the three major terms for a stream (burn, beck and brook) in the North which have Anglo-Saxon and Viking roots. Printed on luxury 250gsm paper and available in A3 only.
