Report - Hic Bibi Brook, Coppul - April 2015

[paulpowers]

Hic Bibi Brook is only culverted for a short distance and I was toying with not posting a report but the arches are really nice.

A quick walk across the field and the babbling brook was easy enough to find, the water was only shallow and the walk could easily be done in wellies.

It is said to be where Oliver Cromwell refreshed himself when advancing south after the battle of Preston in 1648. A stone inscribed "Hic Bibi" ("Here I Drink") marks the site.
