On the map it flows into Banks Bottom Dike, which flows on into Silkstone Beck, then Cawthorne Dike, then the River Dearne, then the River Don, then the River Ouse, then the River Humber and out to the sea.

No gauge measures Ellhirst 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.
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 →
