De Trent (Gough). The tributary which passes through Blyth could be the Ryton and the other between Mattersey and Torksey could be the Idle. The tributary Derwent passing through Derby and its own tributary Wye are shown embracing the Peak. The tributary of the Derwent shown at Ashbourne is an error. It should be part of the Dove which is rightly shown joining the Trent near Tutbury. The tributary between Stone and Stafford could be the Sow although Stafford is shown on the wrong bank. The tributary from Lichfield t. Birmingham could be the Tame although Lichfield would then be misplaced (Parsons). |
