Butterworth Hall Brook is a water course in Greater Manchester, North-West England, which flows through the village of Milnrow and is a tributary of the River Beal.
Course
Rising at Tunshill, just south of Tunshill Farm, where it is almost immediately fed by a small streamlet, the brook flows in a south-westerly direction towards Milnrow, is culverted under the M62 Motorway, then runs along the eastern boundary of Tunshill Golf Course, then down a clough through Claylands Head, to the hamlet of Butterworth Hall. Flowing past Good Intent, it is again culverted beneath Church Terrace before passing under Bilson Bridge on Newhey Road, joining the River Beal, behind Milnrow Precinct. The brook falls 55m.(180 ft.) and barely exceeds 2 km.(1 1/4m.) in length.
History
Butterworth Hall Brook is named after the hamlet of Butterworth Hall, which surrounded the original manorial hall of the ancient township of Butterworth.
