This book is a record of how, over the last thousand years, a small country river has been put to use by the local communities. The most common use of the river has been for watermills, with twenty-two sites identified, but many other diverse uses have also been found for the water of the River Isbourne.

Little has been written about the mills of northern Gloucestershire and southern Worcestershire. Mike Lovatt provides a short history and working of each mill.
