Colour painting, colour photographs throughout, maps, bibliography. Very good unread paperback. Lancashire's River Ribble rises, controversially enough, in Yorkshire. Despite this fact, Dr. Malcolm Greenhalgh, noted Lancastrian angling author and biologist, has devoted much of his professional life to its study. The river meets the sea at Preston, the author's home town. In this book he presents the results of his fascination with the Ribble Valley. He discusses local history, archaeology, land use and the environment, with much on the river itself, its tributaries (the Hodder, Calder, Douglas and others), and its large and impressive estuary. Authoritative, thorough and readable, with many excellent photographs. .
