Headstone Manor - 'Exploring the Yeading Brook!'

Join a fascinating nature walk with Harrow naturalist Simon Braidman, to find out more about The Yeading Brook, a 16 mile tributary of the River Crane (which is a 8 1/2 mile tributary of the River Thames) in West London.

Like many urban waterways, Harrow’s Yeading Brook was encased in concrete, troubled by pollution and posed a flood risk. The brook, a headwater of the river Crane, rises near Headstone Manor, a 23-hectare historic green space and feeds the moat of the medieval manor house at its heart.

Many of its problems have been addressed in a £2.165m Lottery-funded river restoration project, a collaboration between Harrow Council and Thames21. The transformation has been led by Harrow Borough Council, alongside community work by Thames21 to engage and educate the community about wildlife, pollution and flooding issues. A celebration event was held in September 2021 to mark the culmination of the project that begun in 2019 concentrating on the parklands surrounding Headstone Manor and Museum.
