(As in the Essex-Suffolk border river.)

Rhymes with sour doesn't it? Although it might be rather like a sewer.

Cos I’ve been going round saying that for about 30 years now. You’ll be telling me I’ve been mispronouncing Deben next.

So amongst others, there are now German people going about calling our River Stour the River Store.

At the Peterborough end, yes, but in Northamptonshire it's pronounced Nenn. So if you put your canoe in the river at Oundle Mill, turn right for the River Neene, left for the River Nenn.
