Ay up, what's this!!
Wouldn't the river silt up? I was taught that the Mersey doesn't silt up due the the narrow opening to the sea forcing the water to be pushed out, very technical explanation, whereas, the River Dee did silt up (wide opening to the sea) which eventualy stopped the likes of the Romans getting ships to the sea.
This is now 40 year old school info so probably completely wrong |
