Deceptively rural-looking glimpse of the Merry Hill Brook, which makes a brief appearance at Warstones.
It emerges from an underground culvert at Warstones Lane, opposite the primary school, then passes at the back of the green space. It is mainly inaccessible behind a thick hawthorn hedge with bramble understorey.
These pictures taken from the downstream end, where the brook disappears back into a culvert at the back of Warstones Library, continuing its course heading under Pinfold Lane.
They are taken from virtually the same spot. The second, wider angle, view undermines the illusion of tranquillity by including some of the steel and concrete of the culvert entrance.
One reply on “Merry Hill Brook, back of Warstones Library”
Fabulous stuff – even if rather unflashy.
It’s wonderful to have our attention drawn to elements of the local urban scene that we very largely ignore/are blind to.
The shot at the top does indeed look idyllic; hopefully the work of concerned amateurs like Finchfield FIN will lead to improvement in the quality of such pieces of water for aquatic animals and plants and make it a truly valuable natural resource.
Well done everybody on the project.
