Whyburn

Whyburn

The Whyburn, or "Town Brook" is the main watercourse flowing through the town of Hucknall in the English county of Nottinghamshire. It rises in two separate springs at the foot of the Misk Hills by Whyburn Farm, and flows east into the town of Hucknall, past Whyburn Lane to which it also gives its name. The brook once drove several mills in Hucknall, the most notable example being close to the junction of Baker Street and Annesley Road in near the town centre. In "the History of Hucknall Torkard" it is suggested that a mill pond once existed close to the former village green (now the Market Place). The Whyburn has a total legth of around 2½ miles, and terminates in a confluence with the River Leen immediately upstream of Bestwood Village Mill Lakes. A school in Hucknall also takes the name 'Whyburn'.
