"formation was the result of glacial action during the ice age which had started some 500,000 years ago; in that period of the early neogene, the major drainage channel for this part of England, the ""proto-Thames"", was north of Brentford and travelled east via the St Albans depression. The River Brent and adjacent tributaries the Colne Brook and those downstream such as the River Lea either flowed into this more northern Thames or formed the early course of the present day river Thames. The arrival of an ice sheet in the Quaternary Ice Age, about 450,000 years ago, dammed the"
"River Brent The River Brent is a river in west and northwest London, England, and a tributary of the River Thames. 17.9 miles (29 km) in length, it rises in the Borough of Barnet and flows in a generally south-west direction before joining the Tideway stretch of the Thames at Brentford. A letter from the Bishop of London in AD 705 suggesting a meeting at Breġuntford, now Brentford, is the earliest record of this place and probably therefore that of the river, suggesting that the name may be related to the Celtic *""brigant-"" meaning ""high"" or ""elevated"" perhaps linked to"
"Kennett, Cambridgeshire Kennett is a small village and civil parish at the very eastern tip of Cambridgeshire, England. Situated around north-east of Newmarket and north-west of Bury St Edmunds, it falls into the district of East Cambridgeshire. The small parish of Kennett covers at the easternmost point of the spur of Cambridgeshire that stretches into Suffolk. Listed as ""Chenet"" in the Domesday Book of 1086, the village is named after the river Kennett, a tributary of the River Lark. The origin of the river's name is unclear, but it is of Celtic origin perhaps partially derived from ""cwm"" meaning ""summit""."
"the ""Winwaed"", but this river has never been identified. Possibly it was a tributary of the Humber. There is reason to believe it may have been the river now known as Cock Beck in the ancient kingdom of Elmet, which passes Pendas Fields, Leeds, before joining the River Wharfe (which eventually feeds into the Humber). Another possibility is the River Went, a tributary of the River Don, situated to the north of modern-day Doncaster. It could also be in Oswestry or Winwick. The roots of the battle lay in Penda's success in dominating England through a number of military victories,"
"River Len The River Len is a river in Kent, England. It rises at a spring in ""Bluebell Woods"" to the south-east of the village centre of Lenham from the source of the River Great Stour; both rise on the Greensand Ridge. Its length is c. It enters the River Medway at Maidstone. The river flows in a generally westerly direction. Today it runs parallel with the M20 motorway for much of the first part of its journey: it passes between the hamlet of ""Fairbourne Heath"" and Harrietsham; after Broomfield the river becomes the lake adjoining Leeds Castle.

Kennet River (Victoria) The Kennet River, now commonly spelt Kennett River, is a perennial river of the Corangamite catchment, located in The Otways region of the Australian state of Victoria. Formed by the confluence of the West and East branches of the river, the Kennet River rises in the Otway Ranges in southwest Victoria, below Muddy Saddle and flows generally east by south through the Port Campbell National Park before reaching its river mouth and emptying into Addis Bay within Bass Strait, northeast of"

The Cock Beck meanders its way through Pendas Fields, close to an ancient well known as Pen Well on the outskirts of Leeds, before eventually joining the River Wharfe. This same Cock Beck whilst in flood also played a significant role in the much later Battle of Towton in 1461. Another possibility is the River Went (a tributary of the River Don, situated to the north of modern-day Doncaster). It may be that Penda's army was attacked by Oswiu at a"
"River Dun (River Kennet) The River Dun (historically known as Bedwyn Brook) is a tributary of the River Kennet flowing through Wiltshire and Berkshire in England. Its main source is in the parish of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire and it flows for its whole course ENE into Berkshire, where it discharges into the River Kennet at Hungerford, which has a smaller average flow and width upstream of that point. The Dun valley is an important transport route through the high chalklands between the London Basin to the east and the Vale of Pewsey to the west. It is the route by"
"River Brant The River Brant is a long tributary of the River Witham that flows entirely in the county of Lincolnshire, in the east of England. In 1855 the River was described as follows; ""Brant, a tributary of the Witham in the western part of the county of Lincoln. This small stream has its rise in several fine springs in the parish of Hough-on-the-Hill, and pursues its humble course in a northern direction, westward of a range of high land."" The origin of the name is from the Old English; ""brant"" (meaning ""steep"", ""deep""). Steep being a steeply sloping incline."

A tributary of the River Lea, it rises to the south-west of Sandon in the hills northeast of Stevenage and joins the Lea at Hartham Common in Hertford.

It is probable that some parts of the channel are natural, while other parts were created in mediaeval times by the monks of Reading Abbey to supply water mills and fish ponds.
