The River Croal is a river located in Greater Manchester, England. It is a tributary of the River Irwell. Rising at the confluence of Middle Brook and Deane Church Brook, it flows eastwards through Bolton, collecting ''Gilnow Brook'' and the larger ''River Tonge'' at Darcy Lever. Most of the river is culverted through Bolton town centre, running under Knowsley Street; Market Place and Bridge Street. Before 1836 the River Croal formed the boundary between the townships of Great and Little Bolton. The river's name is derived from the Old English ''croh'' and ''wella'', the winding stream. It was possibly originally called the Middlebrook along its entire length as early references mention the ''Mikelbrok'', (''mycel'' and ''broc''), the great stream but not the Croal. It meets the Irwell at Nob End, Kearsley after a total course of around ten miles. ==Tributaries== *River Tonge * *Bradshaw Brook * *Astley Brook * *Eagley Brook 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「River Croal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
