2024 August Houghton Brook Source of the River Lea

Houghton Brook is a minor tributary of the River Lea. 

The Houghton Brook starts behind the Pavilion on Houghton Regis Village Green and wends eastward though Houghton Brook flows through Houghton Regis, crossing underneath Park road North, onto Lewsey before joining the River Lea in Leagrave. This photograph, taken in 2024 shows the brook at the side of the pavilion on the Green

Houghton Brook is fed by a number of smaller brooks in the area, mostly supplied by surface water from farmland and the various local villages and housing estates.
