'THE GRETA' ... RIVER THAT FLOWS THROUGH OUR LIVES. Book launch at the Theatre by the Lake
The book, 'The Greta' will be launched at a special event in The Theatre by the Lake, Keswick,
on Sunday, October 21, when the writer Keith Richardson and the photographer Val Corbett
will be giving an illustrated talk in the Main House. A special art / photographic
exhibition (including Val's work for the book) and also entitled 'The Greta', is also being
held in the theatre's Circle Gallery (Oct 21 to Nov 26) to coincide with the launch of the book.
The River Greta at Keswick has flowed through this area from the time when glaciers shaped our land and created the Lake District. The book, the talk and the exhibition focus on the life of the river and its connection to the town and embraces a rich variety of Greta-related subjects including the people who live and have lived and worked by the river, the local characters / anglers who have fished it and poached it and also its industrial past, wildlife, tributaries, bridges and much more besides.
The exhibition is being held in association with Keswick Museum and Art Gallery.
