Course of river Browney
I think that it is incorrect to say that the Browney used to flow into the Wear at Gilesgate/ Pelaw woods.

Pelaw woods lie on the right bank of the Wear, and the Browney flows into the left bank. So some form of aqueduct would be required to reach the dry valley in Pelaw.

I've seen elsewhere an account or the old course of Browney joining the Wear at Milburngate, having coursed through Flass Vale, under the present rail viaduct and along the route of the present North Road, with the Mill burn forming in the old valley. This seems much more plausible.
