Sheaf, as Handy mentioned, Porter as Simon mentioned, all end up in the main sewer/storm drain called Megastorm.

Fly: the one at loggins comes from holmebrook down the back if the houss on Ashgate road goes under the road through the monkey park and then down the back of the houses on Chester street. Crosses chatsworth road just below the masons arm goes behind matalan and under boythorpe road which is where the hipper joins it. Not much of if is underground

@JR: Why Monkey Park.
Think I saw reference to this somewhere else ?

That's an old tradition - anyone working for Robinsons was given a pet monkey - and they took them to the park for exercising.

I bet Poppy didn't know that...

So the Park on Chester St which backed onto my Aunts house would have been another Monkey Park 

[therealjr]

I remember some phrase relating to the northern end of town as unstone dunston monkey park and brushes but heaven only knows where it comes from. All I know is that when gran lived on Hope St I spent a lot of time in the park or often more accurately the stream and everyone called it the monkey park. Maybe coz a lot of us little monkeys played in it?

Probably because poppy is a lot younger than you 

Strange but we had a Monkey Hallow in our village - it had a tree with a swing rope on
