The water from this pond must flow northwards into the River Ravensbourne - Hayes Branch. The 1930s OS map http://openspace.nearby.org.uk/wheresthepath.htm?lat=51.38094141219077&lon=0.014506679202601471&gz=14&oz=9>=5 shows that the River Ravensbourne - Hayes Branch rises just north of Pickhurst Lane and flows to the east of Bourne Vale and under the western ends of Northbourne and Southbourne. Nothing of the stream is now visible above ground until it reaches Bromley Football Club - see Image
