[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Chad Brook at Edgabton
I found today that we have all of the Chad Brook mapped, except for the stretch from The Vale, at Birmingham University, to Edgbaston Pool; I have added that as: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/543759120 with an estimated route. Can anyone determine where it really lies - presumably culverted? I've also added the name to all the sections, up- and down-stream of the above way, which lacked it. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

Sorry, this way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/543761345 I managed to trace most of the route using Bing. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

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.

Thank you. It was more than a drainage route - my mother used to fish for "tiddlers" in it as a child. Some modern-day picture,s which give an idea of its size, are here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Holbrook,_West_Midlands On 8 December 2017 at 17:36, Andy Robinson wrote: > Andy, > > As a possible future aid I added some pre M6 alignment for the Holbrook > drainage area using the 1947 OOC OS 1:25k.
