Turkey Brook rises near the Fir and Pond Woods nature reserve in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. == Etymology == The brook is named from the hamlet Turkey Street, which is recorded as ''Tokestreete'' (1441), ''Tuckhey strete'' (1610), ''Tuckey street'' (1615), and ''Turkey street'' (1805) (probably street of houses, i.e. hamlet, from Middle English ''strete'', associated with a family called ''Toke'' or ''Tokey''). The modern form of the name ''Turkey'', not in use before the 19th century, is no doubt due to folk etymology.〔Mills A. D.
