Gisburne Park/Ribblesdale Buck Hounds: Meet at Gisburne Park

Place

Gisburn

General notes

The Ribblesdale Buck Hounds had regular Meets across the area, many starting from Gisburne Park. The image shows hounds, riders and followers moving off with the Gatehouses/Lodges behind them. The diaries of a Blackburn businessman, James Hargreaves, record the practice of keeping a live Buck, transporting it to the hunting area allocated for the day, releasing it, then recapturing it before it was attacked by the hounds.
