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 the Till above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.

River Till — Till

2 gauged tributaries, 3 gauges

Wooler Water

Joins the Till between Weetwood Bridge and Doddington Bridge, no more than 3.7 km by river above Doddington Bridge.

Coldgate Mill-0.18 m 31m agoLow
Wooler0.08 m 31m agoLow

Its water passes Doddington Bridge and every gauge below it on the Till. It does not pass Weetwood Bridge or the gauges above it.

Bowmont Water

Joins the Till between Doddington Bridge and Heaton Mill, no more than 40.4 km by river above Heaton Mill.

Pawston0.22 m 31m agoLow

Its water passes Heaton Mill and every gauge below it on the Till. It does not pass Doddington Bridge or the gauges above it.

Where the Till goes

Below Heaton Mill, its water next reaches Norham, a gauge on River Tweed, 11.1 km by river downstream.

River Till — Hampshire Avon

No gauged tributary joins the Till above Shrewton on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Till goes

Below Shrewton, its water next reaches South Newton, a gauge on River Wylye, 16.8 km by river downstream.

River Till — Witham

No gauged tributary joins the Till above Squires Bridge on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Till goes

No gauge below Squires Bridge 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.

River Till — Till

Streams without a gauge

Named streams on the river map that flow into the Till and have no gauge of their own. Each has a page with what is known about it: the next gauge downstream, and any storm overflows or water-sampling points placed on it.

River Till — Witham

Streams without a gauge

Storm overflows upstream

River Till — Till

15 storm overflows are traced upstream of Heaton Mill, the Till’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Till itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 14 not discharging
  • 1 offline or silent: 1 monitor offline, 0 status unknown, 0 no live feed

Official annual figures for the overflows traced upstream of Heaton Mill, each return added up on its own. The Environment Agency’s return, 2025: 451 spills over 2,461 hours in total, across the 14 that have a figure. Scottish Water’s figures, 2025: 53 overflow events over 479 hours, from the 1 that has a figure. Scottish Water counts overflow events, not 12/24-hour spills, so these figures are never added together.

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 the Till includes the smaller streams that join it there.

River Till — Hampshire Avon

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Shrewton 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.

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

River Till — Witham

1 storm overflow is traced upstream of Squires Bridge, the Till’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Till itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 0 not discharging
  • 1 offline or silent: 1 monitor offline, 0 status unknown, 0 no live feed

Official figures for 2025, for the overflow traced upstream of Squires Bridge: 59 spills over 288 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 the Till includes the smaller streams that join it there.

Near these gauges, connection not known

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

  • Sturton By Stow STW Not discharging
    Anglian Water · into Sturton Beck River Till Nt · 1.8 km from Squires Bridge in a straight line · its watercourse is not on the river map · 2025: 49 spills, 396 h

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.

Sampled most recently, anywhere on these rivers and their streams:

England's samples only. Each count opens the list of those points, nearest first, with the date of each one’s latest sample (the gauge’s “Upstream of here” list).

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.
