It is only a small stream and isn't a very interesting subject to write about as there are many, many small streams and brooks in the world that don't have articles about them, why should Bentley Brook? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 666ph666 (talk • contribs) 14:16, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Bentley Brook has an article because someone bothered to write one. Whether you find it interesting or not isn't really the point. It's classed as a main river by the Environment Agency and geographical features are usually deemed notable on Wikipedia. Because of its location and the fact that it's narrow and fast flowing it now has the remains of six water mills, the most concentrated example of early water power in Britain. Is that significant? Well, water powered mills were the basis of the early industrial revolution, powering corn grinding, saw mills, paint making, fertiliser production, lead smelting and so forth at this very site and it's the industrial revolution which created the modern world.
