What is Trentbelly? Inside the first river-focused episode of local podcast NottsPod

Wed 09 Sept 2026

After one of his pupils caught a case of ‘Trentbelly’, the local nomenclature for illness caught from a polluted River Trent, secondary school teacher Tom Suchoruczka became curious about how the river got to the state it is now.

Here, by way of laying the groundwork for that, Michael talks us through the winding history of Nottingham’s modern day water system.
