Little Hallingbury Brook

A stream near Little Hallingbury, Essex. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.

Little Hallingbury Brook is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Little Hallingbury, Essex, with about 1.8 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into the River Stort, which flows on into the River Lea (River Lee), then Nazeing Drain, then Holyfield Channel, then the River Lea (River Lee); beyond that the map has a gap, so where it goes next is not known.

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 Little Hallingbury Brook 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.
No water-sampling point with a banked sample is placed on this stream. Only England’s samples are banked, and only where the map can place their sampling point.
Nothing on this page says whether any place floods. For an address, see its postcode page.
