The Journey of Old Brook
Old Brook starts its journey high up at a place called Crow Knowl. This spot is on Crompton Moor, a beautiful moorland area. From there, the water flows downhill, making its way through the land.
Where it Ends
The brook continues its path until it reaches a larger river. Old Brook eventually joins the River Beal. This meeting point is called a confluence, where two waterways come together.
Special Features of Old Brook
One of the most interesting parts of Old Brook is a waterfall. This waterfall is found at a place called Pingot Quarry. It's a key landmark along the brook's route.
Joining Streams
Along its way, Old Brook is joined by other smaller streams. One of these is called Brushes Brook. Brushes Brook used to have a different name, Leornardin Brook, but now it's known by its current name. These smaller streams add more water to Old Brook as it flows.
