Here are a couple more old maps showing the brook. The first is 1819, by Christopher Greenwood, the second (which is not quite stitched together) is 1831 by William Andrewes Bryant.
My parent's have lived in one of the houses on Princes Boulevard where the garden backs onto the brook since 1978. We spent many summer afternoon's playing in it.
I asked my Dad last night and he thinks it was called the River Withert and thinks it is marked as such on the title deeds to the house, he is going to dig them out and confirm for me.

Very good, the Withert was named once before CLICKY I thought I recognised the name. It ties in with Withert Avenue which was a strange name

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

Drove along Old Chester road near beb station couple times this week and if you look into the some of the roads between Town Lane and Kings lane there is a very pronounced dip which would suggest the actual steam position
