Stones Bank Brook

A stream starting on Turton Moor at the confluence of Rustons Brook and Holden’s Brook.

Stones Bank Brook runs down to the Delph Reservoir where an arrangement of sluices and a separate concrete channel is made to carry the brook on past the reservoir and on to become part of the Eagley Brook.

Before the reservoir, Stones Bank Brook ran off Turton Moor through an area known as Hole Bottoms before changing its name to Delph Brook and flowing under the Widow’s Bridge which was lost when the valley was flooded.
