| I live in Whitehall Gardens and when we moved in over 40 years ago my next door neighbour told us that a stream runs in a culvert at the bottom of our gardens at the foot of the railway embankment, emerging under the railway bridge at Strand on the Green. He said he'd found it when digging our garden during the Second World War when he'd had our garden as an allotment. I've never dug deep enough to find it. I have a copy of The Lost Rivers of London and it does not come as far west as this. It does cover Stamford Brook and the map shows a tributary of it, presumably Bollo Brook, flowing down Bollo Lane and turning East at Chiswick High Road. Thus Bollo Brook is not the stream which comes out at Strand on the Green. |
