Chorlton Brook

The 883rd longest river in the world

km

The Gore Brook is a stream in Greater Manchester, England, which runs in a westerly direction through Tameside, Manchester and Trafford. It starts underground in Droylsden before running by Gorton Reservoir and then comes in and out of culverts before eventually changing name to the Platt Brook upon reaching Platt Fields Park; it then becomes the Chorlton Brook when it joins with the Shaw Brook (or Red Lion Brook), and after passing north of Chorltonville it flows through Chorlton Ees into the River Mersey upstream of Sale Water Park. The Chorlton Brook separated the settlements of Hardy (to the south) and Chorlton (to the north).

Flows through: United Kingdom.
