The Lancastrian name of Greenhalgh comes from the hamlet of that
name between Kirkham and Poulton-le-Fylde (a de Greenhalgh was
there in about 1270). Malcolm Greenhalgh was born in Bolton, and
educated at Kirkham Grammar School and Lancaster University. After
that he moved to Tarleton, working and lecturing on wildlife on the
Ribble. He finally settled in Lowton, where he worked as a
freelance writer, spending much time researching books about
north-west England. His first book was Wildfowl of the Ribble
Estuary (1975), and more recent ones include Flavours of Lancashire
and The Ribble: River and Valley.
He said: ‘I am proud to have the Queen as Duke of my County
Palatine!
Malcolm also wrote extensively on natural history and angling. He
co-wrote, with Hugh Falkus The Salmon and Seatrout Fisher's
Handbook. He attended international conferences on salmon and
worked closely with many of the leading conservationists.
He died on 24 October 2019.
