Title
River Ribble - Dinkley Ferry Boat
General notes
Hacking ferry connected Dinkley to Hurst Green and was used to ferry people across the Ribble where it joins the Calder opposite Calder Hall. The ferry began operating in 1686 but was not very reliable. The last Hacking Ferry boat was taken out of service in 1938 but was still used occasionally until 1955. The last boat was built in the 1920s and was placed in Clitheroe Museum after it was found rotting in Hacking Hall. The present suspension bridge was erected in 1950.
