I don't really know where the brook starts but I think it could have started at the meadow in Low Bank Road years ago as the first place you see it now is crossing Old Road,

in the 50s the brook was the dividing line between the two school playing fields going on to Eavesways garage where again it crossed Wigan Road and into the the park,it was also joined somewhere about there with the overflow from Nickel Road flash
