Swill Brook: The last and longest of the streams worked hard for its living, and would seem to have been left unculverted longer than the others. As well as supplying several mill lodges and the ornamental parkland in Lark Hill, it was used as a municipal boundary. “The boundary beginneth upon the South side at the much famed river of ribell, at a place called the washing stood, and from thence ascend up, easterly, by a little rill or rivulet called Swill-brooke, crossing the London Road, and passing upward to the head thereof, till you come over against the town of Fishwick, from which the brook parteth this burrough”.
About a mile and a half in length, Swillbrook rose in the Waverley Park area of Ribbleton, and its valley provided sites for mill ponds, one of which was probably the largest in the town, in the Birley Bank area. Once across London Road at about Salmon Street, the valley becomes very steep, and takes a rather ornamental turn as it enters the grounds of Lark Hill. Now used as a College, Lark Hill House, was built by Samuel Horrocks, whose family name needs no introduction. Between Manchester Road and the Ribble the valley was thickly wooded, and was known as French Wood. The aforementioned “washing stood” is said to relate to the place where the local women did their washing, and Swillbrook no doubt got its name from this, the water running rapidly at this point below Avenham Walk.
Alas like its two brothers, the stream is now culverted along its entire length, and falls shamely into the river via an outfall near Old Tram Bridge.
