[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Kingshurst Brook

[Brian Prangle]

Hi  Andy

Openrivers is indeed OK for naming watercourses. I downloaded it and opened
it in JOSM (you need the necessary opendata plugins). It's huge as it
covers the whole of the GB so it makes JOSM a tad slow.
however it answers your questions>

Kingshurst Brook flows from the junction with Hatchford Brook though the
lake at Chelmsley Wood and into the River Cole.  Low Brook flows into
Kingshurst Brook at the junction with Hatchford Brook
The small  side stream in the lake can be deleted. The lake has been
changed since Christoph edited it and the new edit is a godawful job of
trying to avoid using multipolygons

Regards

Brian
