Richmond, Shirley.

What’s on the record along Shirley Stream?

3 register places sit within 200m of its line, each opens its own record from this page.

Is the line on the map the whole waterway?

It’s the centreline, the middle of the water as mapped on OpenStreetMap, not its banks. A line says where it runs, not how wide it is or whether it carries water today.

The record behind this

The line is OpenStreetMap’s, every named way tagged river, stream, drain or canal inside the city boundary, merged by name (ODbL). A line says where a waterway runs, not how wide it is; the live gauges are instruments, kept on /rivers.
