Bagley Brook

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bagley Brook is a small water course that flows into the River Severn at Coton Hill, near Shrewsbury town centre, in Shropshire, England.

Its course has been severely altered by urban development in the area, such that the brook is now little known or seen. However its name is used for the official area name - Bagley - which is a ward of the borough council and an electoral district of the county council (though the two do not cover the exact same area).

The brook follows to some extent the old course of the River Severn. When the River Severn floods in a severe way, such as in November 2000, the area around the Bagley Brook also floods.
