This aspect of the Wom Brook is viewed looking downstream in a westerly direction, towards the point where the Wom Brook completes its journey through Wombourne, where the Bridgnorth Road ( B 4176) passes above it.
At this particular section, the Brook flow has slowed, compared with where it commences its journey through the village (under the A449). This reduction in flow is clearly evidenced in the above photograph by the increased amount of plant life that has become established in and along this particular stretch. These colonies of plants not only provide a constant source of oxygen for the water, but also provide shelter and a habitat for a rich variety of small animal life.
