Confluence, Barkisland / Rishworth
This is the confluence of the River Ryburn, which comes from the west under Slitheroe bridge and turns south, and Booth Dean Clough to the left of the image. On the right, there is a tiny waterfall on a small stream issuing from a culvert, and in the river bed an iron pipe that is probably a sewer. It has a hatchbox with a bolted-down cover.

Industrial building, Oldham Road A672, Rishworth
There is a larger building in the valley, so perhaps this housed the offices of the factory.
