There was no brook upto the 40s thats why that stretch could have been called Millingford Brook, the dam was filled in about that time pushed the water to one side, making a channel for the water to escape under the bridge, their are people on this thread that will remember it being filled in as I do, it was joining the Del brook and the the dam Bridge
This is a photo of the dam about 1930s not sure but think it was called Mill Dam like the Mill Fields possable a mill was there at one time, the two in this photo may still be alive
