This journey begins with a detour - a  visit to Stoke Brook, a tributary of the Frome.  Christina meets up with Rozy Gray and volunteers from BART (Bristol Avon River Trust) to find out about BART's work throughout the Bristol Avon catchment and to see a conservation project in the Three Brooks Nature Reserve. Christina then re-joins the Frome Valley Walkway  at Hambrook and walks to Snuff Mills. Along this stretch of the river she meets Carol Thorne from  Frenchay Museum and learns about flock mills, teagardens and subscriptions for the construction of Frenchay Bridge; Ros Martin, a local poet and activist, who  found inspiration by the river for her latest play about her uncle,  one of Britain's most prominent black actors in the 1940s; and Chris Williams, from Snuff Mills Action Group, whose family has lived in the area for generations.
