A Riverfull of Stories by artist Laura Denning, collects anecdotes, memories and reflections from local residents within the River Erme catchment. This sound journey starts at the mouth of the river, at Mothecombe, then meanders upstream through Holbeton, kingston, Modbury, Ermington, Harford and onto the moor. A playful celebration of voices then leads into a cascade back down from the moor, visiting these communities once more before returning to the beach at Mothecombe. People of all ages have contributed. This project has been undertaken in collaboration with the River Erme Councils (the 6 town and Parish councils whose catchment includes the River Erme) and the South Devon River Champions. A Riverfull of Stories forms part of an ongoing oral history/social participation project that over time aims to include stories from the Yealm, Avon, and Dart Rivers.
