River Colne, West Yorkshire
- River Colne, West Yorkshire
The River Colne rises in the Pennines in West Yorkshire, England. It flows through the Colne Valley passing through the villages of Marsden, Slaithwaite and Milnsbridge to Huddersfield and then on to Cooper Bridge where it joins the River Calder. Its tributaries include the Wessenden Brook and the River Holme.
The Colne Valley was famous for the production of woollen and cotton cloth regarded as some of the finest quality produced anywhere and all due to the soft acidic waters of the River Colne and its brooks running down through the side valleys (cloughs) which ran off the peat moors.
