An Ancient Fishery on The Wye

Hi

I just came across this great post which describes a legal battle that took place over a century ago. Plebs claimed an historical right to fish 7 miles of the Wye. Landowners said 'get orf moy laand'. How did the judges rule? Find out here An Ancient Free Fishery on the Wye - Caught by the River.

If you haven't come across CBTR before, its well worth a look, daily.

Not sure where the best place to post this thread would be so have gone for 'general'.

All the best
Ant
