Reclaimed green space
This has been developed as a leisure area though it still carries a faint air of dereliction. It is used by numerous joggers and dog-walkers.

Ribble Way, Higher Penwortham
The site of the former Ribble Generating Station, a coal-fired power station on the riverbank at Priory Park, off Holme Road in Higher Penwortham. The power station, which opened in 1925, supplied electricity to a large area of Lancashire until the early 1980s when it was decommissioned and subsequently demolished.

Dragonfly Carving, Higher Penwortham
One of a group of five wildlife sculptures on the site of the former Ribble Generating Station on the riverbank at Priory Park, off Holme Road in Higher Penwortham. The carving chosen to represent "invertebrate" is of a Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum).
The common darter is a small, narrow-bodied dragonfly which is on the wing from the end of summer until late autumn. This is a very common dragonfly, breeding in all sorts of water bodies from ponds, ditches and lakes to rivers such as the Ribble. As the name suggests, common darters catch their prey by suddenly “darting” forward from a hovering position.
