Thanks for looking, Jayanand.

The river was simply paved over in the 1930s, i.e. the flow of the  
water continued as before but now underground. The resulting wide  
street, which leads from the main brewery to the harbour, became the  
main route for lorries travelling between the harbour and the brewery  
and other industry that back then existed in the centre. By the 1990s  
the harbour was much less important, and much of the industry had  
closed, so a decision was made to re-open the river. The street now  
has just one lane in each direction. The town has gained a riverfront  
of 1.5-2 km, along which there are bars, cafes etc.--or just places  
to walk.

Cheers,
Nathan
