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.

Gauged tributaries

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins Mill Brook 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.

Mill Brook — Dee

No gauged tributary joins Mill Brook above Tattenhall High Street on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Mill Brook goes

Below Tattenhall High Street, its water next reaches Lea Hall River Station, a gauge on Aldford Brook, 6.9 km by river downstream.

Mill Brook — Otter, Sid, Axe and Lim

No gauged tributary joins Mill Brook above Axminster Wilhay Lane on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Mill Brook goes

Below Axminster Wilhay Lane, its water next reaches Whitford Bridge, a gauge on River Axe, 10.2 km by river downstream.

Mill Brook — Teme

No gauged tributary joins Mill Brook above Orleton Millbrook Way on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Mill Brook goes

Below Orleton Millbrook Way, its water next reaches Tenbury, a gauge on River Teme, 15.0 km by river downstream.

Mill Brook — Vale of White Horse

No gauged tributary joins Mill Brook above Blewbury on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Mill Brook goes

Below Blewbury, its water next reaches Cleeve Lock, a gauge on River Thames, 19.0 km by river downstream.

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.

Storm overflows upstream

Mill Brook — Dee

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Tattenhall High Street on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.

Near these gauges, connection not known

Within 3 km of one of Mill Brook’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.

  • Millbrook Park Pumping Station Not discharging
    Dwr Cymru Welsh Water · into Millbrook · 460 m from Tattenhall High Street in a straight line · its recorded watercourse is not the one mapped beside it · 2024: 5 spills, 19 h

1 other overflow within 3 km of these gauges is placed below Mill Brook’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.

Mill Brook — Otter, Sid, Axe and Lim

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Axminster Wilhay Lane on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.

5 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Mill Brook’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.

Mill Brook — Teme

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Orleton Millbrook Way on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.

Near these gauges, connection not known

  • Yarpole Overflow Not discharging
    Dwr Cymru Welsh Water · into Ridgemoor Brook · 3.0 km from Orleton Millbrook Way in a straight line · not connected to this gauge on the river map · 2022: 12 spills, 78 h

Mill Brook — Vale of White Horse

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Blewbury on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.

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.

Water samples

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.

Mill Brook — Dee

No Environment Agency sampling point is placed on the Mill Brook 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.

Mill Brook — Otter, Sid, Axe and Lim

No Environment Agency sampling point is placed on the Mill Brook 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.

Mill Brook — Teme

No Environment Agency sampling point is placed on the Mill Brook 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.

Mill Brook — Vale of White Horse

1 sampling point on the Mill Brook and the streams that join it above Blewbury, and below it. 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.

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.
