Millingford Brook

I'm surprised they chose to name it 'Tom and Gerry's Culvert, as it was around long before the pub. Presumably it also then had a name.
I don't think it was Cong Culvert!

Anyone know what it was (or is really) called?

PS I know it was Town Bridge, but I presume the culvert also had a distinct name.

Is that a kwik-save supermarket trolley in one of the photos

Probably.

I always wanted to know whereabouts Jack Brook joined Millingford.

Now, I know it is in the culvert, but unless I go through myself will still not know exactly where.

Can anyone tell me, is there still any water flow in Jack Brook? It used to separate the sports fields of the grammar school and secondary modern when the former was still on Old Road. It reduced to a bit of a trickle following Summer droughts, but a decent flow in Winter, albeit much less volume than Millingford.

Frogs and newts in the portion next to The Strand, back in the day. Had a look on Google maps: no sign of it!

it's still there Ena...however, its is now piped under the school field,but opens up through the park and the KG playing field.
As you say,flow is determined by the weather/time of the year

Thanks for the info, JM.
