This last shows the local pronunciation. This township extends from the south-east border of Preston to the Ribble. A large part of the surface is low-lying level ground in bends of the river, but in the west and north the surface rises steeply and irregularly, a height of about 150 ft. above sea level being attained. The hall is in the eastern part of the township, near the foot of the slope and at the opening of a small clough. The Swillbrook was the boundary between Fishwick and Preston ; it has now disappeared. Frenchwood lies between it and the Ribble, to the west of the road to Walton. The area is 692J acres, and the population in 1901 was 4,884. The ancient highway from Preston to the south, PRESTON by way of Walton-le-Dale, passes through Fishwick, and the bridge across the river there has long been pre-eminently ' Ribble Bridge.' From the bridge a minor road leads north-east towards the hall and thence to Preston, while another road and footpath lead west towards Avenham Park. Dwelling-houses have spread over the border from Preston, with which town Fishwick has been joined for municipal and parliamentary purposes sinc
