[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Thimblemill Brook, Warley

[Stephen Holt]

Hi Andy 

Although I haven’t any detailed on-the-ground local knowledge it looks to me that the watershed is closer to Pottery Road rather than Hurst Road so the section in between these roads is correctly labelled but may be flowing the wrong way. The section labelled Thimblemill further west, beyond the Wolverhampton Road, perhaps shouldn’t be so labelled at all - it doesn’t appear to be named on old OS maps I have seen.

Hope this helps

Stephen
