Encyclopedia > River Bollin

The River Bollin is a river in the north-west of England and a major tributary of the River Mersey.


It rises in Macclesfield Forest at the western end of the Peak District before descending the 10 miles through Macclesfield and Wilmslow where it merges with the River Dean. For the following 10 miles (16 km) it defines the southwestern portion of the border between Greater Manchester and Cheshire before merging with the Mersey north of Lymm.

Popular victory is a splendid advertisement for the St Leger - Telegraph (994 words)
Of course, the proud-necked Bollin Eric may not, perhaps, in strict mathematical merit, match up to the great St Leger winners of the past such as Nijinsky or Reference Point.
After winning the last two of his four races as a two-year-old, Bollin Eric came back to be third at Newmarket in April, second both at York and Royal Ascot, an unlucky third at Haydock and then a closing third in York's Voltigeur Stakes.
Bollin Eric may lift his knee but the white flag never goes near his masthead.
APEM | project (331 words)
DESCRIPTION: The River Bollin is potentially the most important part of the Mersey catchment, for the re-establishment of migratory salmonids (salmon and sea trout) in addition to other migratory species such as eels and lampreys (sea, river and brook).
Prior to this project little was known about habitat quality within the Bollin with respect to the salmon, or indeed other migratory species, although it was acknowledged that there were many formidable obstacles to upstream migration.
River widths were also measured in the field whenever a 100m grid line (horizontal or vertical) was crossed and compared to bank widths as defined in the geo-referenced digitised maps.
