River Moselle (London)
The Moselle Brook, also referred to as the River Moselle, is a brook which flows through North London, originating in Muswell Hill and Highgate, then flowing through Tottenham and towards the Lea Valley. It was originally a tributary of the River Lea, but it now flows into Pymmes Brook, another Lea tributary. The name derives from ''Mosse-Hill'' in Hornsey, which also gave its name to the modern district of Muswell Hill, and bears no relationship to that of the Moselle river which flows from France to Germany. For a time it was known as the Moswell. From its source, the brook flows north-eastward to Lordship Recreation Ground, then to High Road by the junction with White Hart Lane, then along High Road to a point near Scotland Green, and then eastward to the River Lea. It now has a low flow, but once posed a serious flooding threat to Tottenham. Until the 19th century, the whole of the river remained above ground, but in 1836 the stretch around Tottenham High Road and Whit ...
