The Old West has been an almost forgotten backwater for many generations. For much of its length it looks like little more than a reed-lined stream, dawdling betwixt fields and meadows. Yet this little river has, for thousands of years, been the Eastern Border, equal or greater in significance to the White Cliffs of Dover, Offa's Dyke and Hadrian's Wall. Matthew Ward Hunter takes you on a tour of its vital importance through the centuries.
