Hotspot 28. Boundary Brook

The course east of the main road was part of the old township boundary, running beside the township fields of Upper and Lower Marsh. The brook's lower course has been straightened and diverted, to run direct to the Thames - presumably to avoid flooding when Meadow Lane was developed. Iffley was absorbed into the City of Oxford in 1928 and its old boundaries are obsolete.
