About this audio guide
This guide to Otterspool Promenade in Liverpool follows a small brook with a medieval name and a biblical one, and the tidal creek where it once met the Mersey. It reaches from a thirteenth-century abbey record to the salmon fishermen of the eighteenth century and the twentieth-century city that needed somewhere to put its rubbish. Best heard at the railings with the river in front of you and the park at your back.
