River Arthur / Springfield Brook / Endemere Water

A little article from 1933 CET.

Thanks for that, Anne. In 1906 there was a small pond in the area where the modern industrial estate was built. At that point the area was allotments and by 1937 the Albion Works had been built. The area to the west, within Whitmore Park, is pockmarked with small ponds and a number of streams feed into the Springfield Brook. The railway line breaks the connection between that land and the pond. It was called le Slowe - could it have been a slough? A mere, a water and a slough? It does sound like it was the source of the name, albeit the sources, including what was called Springfield Brook, started further west.

The point where the Endemere Water goes under Cash's Lane (red car) formerly known as Ouenotteford.
