- The Ribble bore starts somewhere out past Warton Bank. It travels all the way to the old ‘pack horse’ type footbridge between Broadgate and Riverside Road in Preston. The bore becomes undular and hardly noticeable as it passes Preston Docks, where the river runs deep. The now weakened bore meets the rapids by the footbridge. The sharp gradient and turbulence of the river here prevents the bore from travelling any further. The tide continues to come in though and the river rises for a good few miles past this point.
The video was filmed from Leyland Road west of the old footbridge. It was a very grey, rainy day, so the colour looks a bit washed out.
Date filmed: 14th August 2018
Expected high tide at Blackpool: 9.1m @ 14:00
The bore passed the filming location at 12:41 (1 hour 19 mins before HT at Blackpool)

As a boy (and that was over 50 years ago) we were over the wall by the Little Park, on Broadgate, down by the water. Suddenly it rose by about 3". Not dangerous but my first encounter with the bore (I later found out), and quite scary at the time.
Thanks for the video. Very nostalgic, as I lived around Broadgate until I was 23.
When I was homeless in about 2007 me and a mate used to sleep under the little arch next to the footbridge,really warm out of the rain,it.was ok til the river got really swollen one night and we nearly sailed off downstream!! Never left there until 28th November when we managed to get a flat..GREAT DAYS!!!
Still yet to see this happen always fish the mighty ribble
wow interesting one
I sat on this wall when I went to the river ribnle in 2019
The bridges connecting broadgate and middleforth and broadgate and south ribble?
The bridge connects Broadgate and Riverside Road.
How do the fresh water species go on with that 'cousin rush', and vice versa ? Seems very muddy.
Suzy Qualcast . Sorry, I don’t know much about what lives in the river.
Suzy it's not salt water till it hits Lyuham, it's all fresh water backing up that's all hun 👍
@@bigchris80 It is saline all the way in to the old A6 Bridge at Walton le Dale - highest point where the river is affected by the tide!
