You are right about the large culvert behind the bowling green pavillions in Mesnes Park dostaf, there used to be a large pond that was fed by a stream on the west side of Buckley St bridge before Gillan Rd was built, that must have been culverted and built over. There is also another tributary to Barley Brook that comes from Whitley Mere and runs down between Whitley Crescent and Coniston Avenue goes under Danesway and then runs down Queensway before joining Barley Brook on Buckley St and then on to Mesnes Park etc.
