The River Teme has been used for navigation since Roman times. Their settlements all along the river were supplied by water. Silver, Gold and Lead were mined in the hills west of Leintwardine. An enormous tonnage of lead was cast into sheets 5ft x 3ft in a quarry on the Black Hill and carried down an incline behind the Wharf Inn at Felindre to be loaded into dugout boats for transport to the Severn and up the Salwarpe to Droitwich. Here it was used to make Salt Pans for boiling the brine. They constructed some 25 weirs and flash locks along the Teme using the impounded water to power flour and iron mills.
