A stream near Leyland, Lancashire. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.
Bannister Brook is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Leyland, Lancashire, with about 3.0 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into Mill Brook, which flows on into the River Lostock, then the River Yarrow, then the River Douglas, then the River Ribble and out to the sea.

No gauge measures Bannister Brook itself. A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed it, mixed with everything else that has joined on the way, so it says nothing exact about this stream.
A status says whether an overflow is discharging now, never how much or why. A monitor that is offline or has not reported is not “not discharging”. Sewage in Britain’s rivers →
