Andy,
As a possible future aid I added some pre M6 alignment for the Holbrook
drainage area using the 1947 OOC OS 1:25k. The ways only have a note tag on
them of "Drainage courses associated with Holbrook from circa 1947 OS 1:25k
mapping". Even in 1947 the thin blue lines are not continuous and was not even
present on the mapping from just north of the now Perry Beeches campus right
down to the Perry reservoir by the canal. The Holbrook name doesn’t even appear
anywhere on the map so perhaps it’s a modern name. It's also possible that
there was little more than a drainage route back before the landscape was
concreted. The Thornbridge Avenue area was already built out by 1947 of course.
A tall order to find the culverted route. Old construction plans for the M6
would probably show it.
Cheers
Andy

Sorry, this way:

I managed to trace most of the route using Bing.
