The leen rises at Annesley in Nottinghamshire,
heads south passing through Bullwell, Basford (joined by the day brook) & Radford
merging with the trent at the Meadows in Nottingham
length of about 15 miles.
Theres 14 culverts along the route, many designed by Marriott Ogle
ranging from a few to several hundered yards long.
