Stanney Brook
Stanney Brook is a watercourse in Greater Manchester, England. It originates in the Burnedge area of Shaw and Crompton, and flows through Milnrow into Rochdale before joining the River Roch at Newbold Brow.
Alone among the watercourses of Milnrow and Newhey, it does not pass through the centre of either village, and flows directly into the River Roch, rather than first into the River Beal. Its name derives from the Lancashire dialect word "stanner", a ridge of stones.〔J.H.Nodal & G.Milner ''A Glossary of the Lancashire Dialect'' 1875 (edition published by Manchester Literary Club 1972)〕 It is also unusual in that the borough in which it rises, changes, depending on the wetness of surrounding moorland.
The brook drops 100 metres in a little over 5.5 kilometres,〔Ordnance Survey Sheet SD81/91 "Bury, Rochdale and Littleborough" 1983〕 or 330feet in 3.5 miles.〔Ordnance Survey Sheet SD91 "Littleborough" 1972〕 It is culverted four times, generally is only 60 cm(3 ft) wide, and rarely exceeds 90 cm(3 ft) in width at any point.
==Source==
The source of the brook, when the moorland is wet, is 200m south of Burnedge Lane, High Crompton, in Oldham Metropolitan Borough. When the moorland is dry, the first sign of the brook is from the Burnedge Lane bridge, looking north into the brook's clough, in Rochdale Metropolitan Borough. The brook then runs past Knott Booth and Dig Gate farms to its first culvert, beneath the M62 motorway.
