Clitheroe, River Ribble 1899

Tree-lined, and with lush
green river banks, the
River Ribble runs through
pretty villages and on to
Clitheroe, joining with the
River Calder and the River
Hodder. Flowing through
picturesque countryside, it
drew fishermen, bathers,
boaters, picnickers galore.
Over the years rules and
permits had to be brought
in, and a watch kept
against poachers of fish
and game. In the distance
is Edisford bridge.
