Examples of riverbank in a Sentence
When I was a small boy growing up in Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there in the warmth of a summer afternoon on a riverbank we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him that I wanted to be a real major-league baseball player, a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that he'd like to be President of the United States. Neither of us got our wish.
From where I was standing, at the riverbank, it was hard to imagine that there were nine houses where I could only see water, so I decided to fly the drone. Only then, watching the area from above, I realized the scale of the disaster.
Lancashire Police Superintendent Sally Riley:
However, parts of the riverbank are treacherous, and we would ask that nobody puts themselves in danger and that the police and partner agencies’ efforts to find Nicola are not compromised.
