Since pre-Norman times this was a border, at one time between Mercia to the left and Northumbria to the right. Until 1934 Derbyshire and the Province of Canterbury was to the left, Yorkshire and the Province of York to the right. Now it's all part of South Yorkshire and the Province of York. The bed of the brook is discoloured a rusty red after bog iron, or ferric hydroxide, flooded down the valley in February, colouring the River Sheaf a long way downstream with an alarming muddy orange hue.
