More about this scene
Between Preston and Clitheroe lies Hurst Green in the Ribble Valley, backed by Longridge fells. It was always a popular tourist village, and there were two ferries over the Ribble, Trough House and Hacking Boat. The Shireburns were great benefactors here; Richard Shireburn provided almshouses and a school, and the family lived at what became Stonyhurst College. Farming was long a way of life, but handloom weaving occupied many villagers, with local bobbin mills supplying the industry.
