The Stock-brook

The stream that flowed through Stock in the Shire

Map of the Stock-brook

A brook of the Shire's Eastfarthing, and a minor tributary of the River Brandywine. It rose in the forested hills above Woody End, and from there flowed eastwards and a little northwards out into the fields of the Marish. It passed through the southern end of the village of Stock, from which it took its name, before emptying into the Brandywine a few miles north of Bucklebury Ferry.


Notes

1

Specifically, the unhyphenated form appears on the large-scale map of the Shire in The Lord of the Rings. In the text of that book, the hyphenated form 'Stock-brook' is preferred.
