Broughton Beck

A stream near Stokesley, North Yorkshire. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.

Broughton Beck is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Stokesley, North Yorkshire, with about 1.9 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into Eller Beck, which flows on into the River Leven, then the River Tees and out to the sea.

Next gauge downstream

Stokesley Downstream on the River Leven, about 2.3 km along the river below where Broughton Beck ends on the map.

0.63 m Normal · rising slightly 30 min ago

After that, Foxton Bridge, about 21 km along the river.

No gauge measures Broughton Beck 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.

Storm overflows on Broughton Beck

3 storm overflows are placed on this stream on the river map. Each status is the water company’s own monitor.

Great Broughton & Kirby CSO Mh6 Not discharging
Northumbrian Water · into Broughton Beck · 2025: 5 spills, 7.3 h

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 →

A sample is taken on a date; it says nothing about the water today. A sample below an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from.

What this page can and cannot tell you

Its line, its name and where it flows come from Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small streams, ditches and culverts. “Flows into” is the map’s word: a channel that is not on the map is not shown here, which does not mean it is not there.
No gauge measures Broughton Beck itself, so its own level is not known here.
Storm overflows are listed only where the river map places them on this stream; an overflow it could not place is not counted.
Water samples are England’s only (the Environment Agency’s archive), placed where the map can place their sampling point.
Nothing on this page says whether any place floods. For an address, see its postcode page.
