The watercourse nearest Bramham

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Bramham Beck, about 10 m from the middle of Bramham's gauges. It flows into Carr Beck about 60 m downstream.

A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on Bramham Beck nearest the middle of Bramham's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist.
