Longden End Brook is a watercourse in Greater Manchester. It rises near Windy Hill, and flows down Rakewood Valley and underneath the M62 motorway at Rakewood Viaduct, before arriving at Hollingworth Lake,[1] where it is the main feeder stream. Historically, the watercourse was used to power three watermills along its length.[2]
