Welcome to the Riverrun Homepage, a tributary of

Middlesex County Council

"Which springing out of a wall vulgarly called Brownswell, for Brentwell, that is in Old English Frogwell, passeth down between Hampstead and Hendon hilles. "Brent" unto whom all the finall rillets of these parts resort, runneth on by Brent street, watereth Hanger Wood, Hanwell, Osterley Park, and so neere his fall in the Tamis giveth name to Brentford a fair thoroughfare and frequent mercat."

(from William Camden's Brittanica, 1586)

On the listed pages you will find a site dedicated to the detailed study of the rivers and streams of a London Borough. Elements of local history interweave with personal musings and an eye for the morbid, the lost and the hidden. Good Luck!
