Black Brook, West Yorkshire

The Black Brook is a small river in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England.



The Black Brook rises near the border of Calderdale and Kirklees next to Scammonden Dam. It flows downwards through Stainland Dean, and then between Greetland and Stainland. Most of the river, at this point, forms a parish border between the parishes of Greetland and Stainland. The Holywell Brook flows into the Black Brook before flowing into the River Calder at West Vale. The combined length of the two brooks is 14.24 km and they drain an area of 30 km2.

The valley that the Black Brook flows through is named the Blackburne Valley.
