Skirden Beck is a minor river in Lancashire. Formerly, the Beck was in the county of Yorkshire.
The Beck is formed at the confluence of New Gill Beck and Grunsagill Beck and flows southward, being joined by Monubent Beck (at Forest Becks near Skirden), Bier Beck, Kirk Beck and finally Holden Beck.
Skirden Beck falls into the River Ribble near Briery Bank Wood.
Famous quotes containing the word beck:
“In front of that sinner of a husband,
she rattled off
only those words
that her pack of vile-tongued girlfriends
taught her
as fast as she could,
and after,
began to behave
at the Love-god’s beck and call.
It’s indescribable,
this natural, charming
path of love,
paved with the gems
of inexperience.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
