Pickburn

Pickburn

Pickburn is a hamlet in South Yorkshire, England, close to the village of Brodsworth and Brodsworth Hall. It appears to get its name from the small stream "Pick Burn" (or river Pick) which flows through it on its way to Highfields Lake, in the Woodlands wildlife park. At the time of Kirkby's Inquest, Pickburn was held by the Wasteneys and the Lyvets.
