White Brook is one of several watercourses that meander seemingly aimlessly across the flood plain of the River Thames north and upstream of Maidenhead. Here White Brook is in Cookham but the boundary with Maidenhead is very close, following the hedgerow on the right. The land on the left bank is the National Trust owned Widbrook Common, but on Victorian Ordnance Survey maps currently available online this is clearly shown as Whitebrook Common, hence the derivation of the present-day name.
