The watercourse up to the top of Riddings Close has now been re-classed as a River by the Environment Agency by en-maining it to the River Severn, as Brooks don't flood. Previously it was an ordinary critical watercourse, under the jurisdiction of the local authority, Wyre Forest District Council who maintain overall responsibility beyond Riddings Close to its source.

In making a record of its source and end where it tributarys into the mighty River Severn, many intersting things have cropped up which I would like to make a record of for all to see.
