Wasn't there a paper mill in Rishton that also dumped its waste into the Stink?
I remember it used to flow merrily along at the bottom of Swales's pasture where I used to go bird's nesting ... I could look out of my bedroom window accross the valley to Great Harwood. What a childhood! I lived next door to the paint works on Rishton Rd., downwind from Basil Brierly's pigs, and a couple of hundred yards from the Stink
