How do you pronounce "Stour"?

(As in the Essex-Suffolk border river.)

If you're in Sudbury you have to ask yourself 'what am I doing here?'

Isn’t it “store”?

My parents, both born in very close proximity to the river, one on Suffolk side and one on the Essex side, both referred to it as “Store”.

I've not heard it said in any other way by my Suffolk relatives.

Tho the one up by Kidderminster is pronounced "Stower".

It absolutely should not be pronounced in a way that rhymes with 'sour' unless you are from the wrong side of the river. Those on the Suffolk side should pronounce it 'store'.....or they should leave immediately (and take Lambert with them).
