TheRiver Ribble is a minor river running through the town ofHolmfirth inKirklees,West Yorkshire, England.
Rising at the outflow of Holme Styes Reservoir, itself fed by Reynard Clough (which has a tributary, Catholes Gutter), Hades Clough and Long Ing Dike, the Ribble flows northwards, collecting Fox Clough and Beaver Clough from the west, before joining theRiver Holme by Towngate and Hollowgate in Holmfirth.[1] The confluence of the two rivers was also marked by a weir, but this was removed in 1944 whenItalianprisoners of war were tasked with removing it.[2]
