Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins Mill Beck above one of its gauges, from the source down. The river map knows where gauges are, not every stream, so a tributary without a gauge is not listed here.
No gauged tributary joins Mill Beck above Norton Mill Beck Screen on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.
Below Norton Mill Beck Screen, its water next reaches Malton, a gauge on River Derwent, 520 m by river downstream.
No gauged tributary joins Mill Beck above Market Weighton on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.
No gauge below Market Weighton is known on the river map.
Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge.

2 storm overflows are traced upstream of Norton Mill Beck Screen, Mill Beck’s lowest gauge on the river map: on Mill Beck itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Norton Mill Beck Screen: 16 spills over 5.2 hours in total, across all 2.
Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of Mill Beck includes the smaller streams that join it there.
Within 3 km of one of Mill Beck’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
17 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Mill Beck’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.
1 storm overflow is traced upstream of Market Weighton, Mill Beck’s lowest gauge on the river map: on Mill Beck itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflow traced upstream of Market Weighton: 0 spills over 0 hours.
Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of Mill Beck includes the smaller streams that join it there.
Within 3 km of one of Mill Beck’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.

Dated samples taken by the Environment Agency, not live readings. Results are published days to months after the sample is taken, and many points are sampled only a few times a year, or have not been sampled for years.
1 sampling point on the Mill Beck and the streams that join it above Norton Mill Beck Screen. 0 have a sample from the last 12 months; 0 have any sample banked. Listed from the source down, grouped by the next gauge each one's water reaches.
| Sampling point | Watercourse (map) | Above the gauge | Last sample | Latest results (river water) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mill Beck upstream of Welham Park Hatchery | Mill Beck | 0.9 km | Last sampled 25 Oct 2012, before the imported period |
No Environment Agency sampling point is placed on the Mill Beck or the streams above its lowest gauge on the mapped rivers. That is not the same as none: the river map leaves out many small streams.
Distances are along the river to the gauge named. England's samples only.
FloodRadar does not grade these results: there is no overall score, and official river classifications are a separate dataset. A sample taken downstream of an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.
