The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland - 1868
"THE RIBBLE, a river of Yorkshire and Lancashire, supposed to be the Belisama mentioned by Ptolemy. It rises under Whernside, in the West Riding of Yorkshire and receiving in its course of nearly 70 miles the tributary streams of the Hodder, Calder, Darwent, and Douglas, falls into the Irish Sea below Lytham, where there is a tide-light; but the entrance to the port is much obstructed by sands."
