1000 years ago, the landscape of Exeter featured several small rivers draining into the River Exe. Today there is no trace of some of these rivers except for an occasional dip in the road, a bridge over nothing or a street name. Other “lost” rivers appear tantalisingly in the surface for short distances before disappearing again into culverts or tunnels. This talk will explore the history of these lost rivers and their importance both in the past and today. It will conclude by looking at the concept of “daylighting” lost rivers.
