The River Ribble, Holmfirth (Wooldale / Cartworth)
Image: © Humphrey Bolton Taken: 6 Mar 2008
At approximately 3km long, this must be one of England's shortest rivers (ie watercourses named as a river on the OS map). Here it is near to its confluence with the River Holme, and is hemmed in by the Rose and Crown on the left and a very steep and high hillside on the right. This length of the river forms the township boundary (the lower parts of the townships amalgamated to form Holmfirth Urban Sanitary District in 1884 and then Holmfirth UDC in 1894 but the townships were civil parishes until 1921).
