	Derbyshire Rivers - River Trent in Derbyshire - Information and photographs
		The River Trent at 171 miles in length, is one of the major rivers of England.
		The river and its tributaries flow through some of the most industrialised parts of the Midlands, and during the 18th and 19th centuries the Trent played a major role in the industrial development of the area.
		With populations now reaching over one million in the cities along the Trent, together with the influences of industrial and agricultural development, including mineral extraction, drainage and built development, the river’s wildlife has suffered a major decline during the last century.Fortunately, the tide has started to turn for the river’s wildlife.

		Its principal tributaries are the rivers Derwent, Dove, Soar, Erewash and Devon, as well as many small watercourses which discharge into the river.

	NEWTON ON TRENT
		It has been speculated that the river embankment itself formed the western defences of this vexillation fortress, as only the north, south and eastern sides of the double-ditched enclosure can be discerned on aerial photographs.
		There is a polygonal outwork surrounding the fortress, which consists of a series of narrow linear ditches, mostly singular, but with a 100m stretch of double-ditch outwork running almost parallel with the central eastern rampart and about 100m from it.
		The marked footpath on the eastern bank of the river is part of the Trent Valley Way; there is a similar footpath on the west bank of the Trent which has been omitted for brevity.

	Angling on the River Trent
		Grayling were commonplace between Averham and Winthorpe, barbel thrived all along the Trent, bream competed with the huge shoals of chub for the anglers' bait, and numerous shoals of roach ensured that every visit to the dazzling clean river was a day to remember.
		Some of today's Trent specialists are convinced that the river holds a barbel that will soon smash the current record and they are backed by some impressive double-figure specimens which have been landed during the past five years.
		Ruthless pollution ensured that the River Trent began to deteriorate quickly from this time and the majestic salmon was driven from the Trent by 1900, and although some fantastic catches of coarse fish continued to be reported for a number of years, clearly pollution was beginning to ravage the river.

		In March 2002, as leaders in North Staffordshire considered the future direction of the 2C7 meetings, the River Trent came into prominence as a strategic focus which needed to be explored in prayer.
		The River is 171 miles long (274 kilometres), beginning at its source in North Staffordshire and ending at the mouth of the Humber Estuary.
		This means that the Trent is tidal and, like the sea, has a tide twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
