But you may not have realised that our graduate placement, Jayne Ashe, has made a head start and has been busy supporting and co-ordinating a new 'Pendle Hill Volunteers Group' over the last year. The volunteers have been able to carry out small-scale tasks to improve the local environment of the hill, including woodland management, surveying, removal of invasives and hedgelaying amongst other things. We see this group growing and developing as the Pendle Hill LP begins its delivery phase next year. Ribble Rivers Trust have been going from strength to strength recently, with new initiatives and projects sprouting up across the AONB, including the ambitious and exciting 'Ribble Life Together' catchment- wide initiative and the River Loud Farmer Facilitation Group.

The number and distribution of salmonid redds throughout salmonid catchments provides invaluable information on the range and extent of spawning by both salmon and sea trout. A project was initiated by the Fisheries Science and Management Team of Central Area, NW Region in liason with the Flood Defence function. The main objective of this project was to assess redd count data for Central Area and attempt to quantify these data in order to produce a grading system that would highlight key salmonid spawning areas. By showing which were the main areas for salmon and sea trout spawning, better informed decisions could be made on whether or not in-stream Flood Defence works should be given the go-ahead. The main salmonid catchments in Central Area were broken into individual reaches, approximately 1 km in length. The number of redds in these individual reaches were then calculated and a density per lkm value was obtained for each reach. A grading system was devised which involved looking at the range of density per km values and dividing this by five to produce 5 classes, A - E.

  • 1868 Drought
    THE EMERGENCY WATER SUPPLY FOR PRESTON 1868 PUMPING FROM THE RIVER HQDDER DROUGHT AT DQEFORD BRIDGE In 1953 Preston's Water Engineer, Mr Oakes, produced an excellent booklet called "Water Supplies through Three Centuries". He described how, as Preston expanded and the wells and springs within the town became inadequate, it looked towards the hills. The first reservoir was made about 1832 near Gammull Lane, then the Grimsargh reservoirs about 1835 and the first of the reservoirs near Longridge about 1840. For 25 years, between 1850 and 1875, Preston obtained much of its water supply directly from the River Loud near the Derby Arms. "The Loud water was hard and grossly polluted" and there was not much of it in dry weather. The Stonyhurst records for 1868 show that there was very little rain in May, June and July. By August, Preston's reservoirs were dry. The urgent need to maintain a supply of water to the town demanded a quick solution. Pumping from the Ribble was considered but analysis showed that the water was quite unfit for domestic purposes. Hodder water proved to be ideal, and arrangements were made by the end of August to obtain it. The ingenious emergency measures, to raise water 120 feet above the river Hodder and run it more than a mile to the existing Longridge Fell catchment area reflect great credit on all concerned. Mr Dakes wrote that water was pumped continuously from 27th August to the end of October. On Thursday September 10th the emergency pumping scheme was inspected by a deputation from Preston Corporation who left Winckley Square, pulled by five horses.
