	River Leam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River Leam springs near the village of Hellidon in Northamptonshire on the north side of a range of low ironstone hills which form the watershed between the systems feeding the River Thames and the River Severn.
		At Braunston, the river is crossed by a substantial embankment carrying the Grand Union Canal over the river on an aqueduct.
		West of Braunston, the River Leam opens into a broad flat valley and flows through open farmland passing the small village of Grandborough where there was once a water mill.

	River Leam - Town Waters
		Leamington Angling controls most of the fishing on the river Leam, from the narrow streamy stretches at Offchurch to the wider, slower lengths in the town and on to the confluence with the Avon.
		The Princess Drive weir holds back the Leam to create a long wide stretch in the Victoria Park and on through the town.
		Newbold Comyn is now producing some excellent fish and, for those who don't mind the walk, there are some superb winter swims upstream where the river twists and turns and forms some deep pools on the bends.

	Warwick and Leamington: Ch 2
		The Prospero was one Benjamin Satchwell, the village cobbler, postmaster, and poet, who found that magic spring of saline water in the earth near the church; that water which was really the magician that brought fame and fortune to this old-time little village upon the Leam, or elm river.
		In short, Leamington, as seen to-day in the second youth, as it were, of its life -- the first was in the early years of the nineteenth century -- may be accounted quite the last word in modern leafy town-planning.
		But the south town, with its pinched and crabbed appearance, soon gave place to the north, where the now beautiful and palatial Leamington grew out of the northern earth, as it were, at the stamping of a foot.

	Royal Leamington Spa , Warwickshire
		An elegant, spacious town on the River Leam, Leamington Spa owes it's fame to the bubbling waters of a mineral spring.
		A settlement has existed on the south bank of the River Leam, as early as the 7th.

	The Hornet's Nest
		A trip round Leam Valley produced most of the regulars, including a nice number of Bullfinches (five in all), and up to five singing Song Thrushes.
		The upshot of this lifestyle is that the Sparrowhawk is rarely seen, and so generally under recorded.
		These included two Green Woodpeckers, a Jay, a Kingfisher along the first section of the River Leam, two Sky Lark over Offchurch Bury fields and a Buzzard which sat motionless for 15 minutes or more opposite the hide.

	OTBA //history
		As the name suggests, Old Town was the original heart of Leamington, broadly speaking, that part of the town which lies South of the River Leam.
		Until the late eighteenth century, Leamington Priors was a small agricultural village with a population of about 300, living in 50 or so cottages grouped around the parish church, the vicarage, the mill and mill house and two public houses.
		Sam often brought his elephants back to Leamington and they performed at the Victoria Grand Circus building which stood on the River Leam where the Loft Theatre now is. It could hold 2000 people, was lit by 50 chandeliers and had a dome nearly 100ft high.

	The Parish Church of All Saints, Royal Leamington Spa
		They built it around the small parish church of the day, and continued to use the existing church inside the growing walls of the new one, until the small church was demolished and this one, affectionately known to Leamingtonians as "The Parish Church" became the church you see today.
		On Good Friday, 1998, the church was surrounded by water when the River Leam burst its banks and flooded the centre of the town.
		All the Services were cancelled and the only Good Friday observance we managed was the traditional mourning peal of muffled bells at 3.00pm, the hour at which Christ died on the Cross.

	WOLFHAMPCOTE
		It is here that the upper reaches of the river Leam, which gives its name to Leamington Spa, form both the county and parish boundaries as it flows near the church of St Peter and the handful of buildings which now remain near this deserted medieval village site.
		Today, as it has done for many centuries, the river Leam, the furthest stream from the churchyard, forms the parish boundary; the village originally spread beyond this towards Braunston, but at that time the county boundary was not so clearly defined as at present.
		The major part of the parish was enclosed under Acts passed in 1744 and 1757, although in many places, particularly near Flecknoe, the district still has the appearance of being largely unaltered since pre-enclosure times, giving a rather bleak open landscape, this by no means being the result of modern farming practice.

	The Good Friday Floods in Leamington Spa
		In the early hours of Good Friday, April 10th, 1998, the River Leam burst its banks and flooded the centre of Leamington Spa, effectively cutting the town in half.
		In the Jephson Gardens, seen on the left, the ornamental lakes and the river merged into one mass of water which covered the lawns, paths and flower beds, and flowed across the Parade into the Pump Room Gardens, seen on the right, leaving the famous bandstand marooned.
		In the late afternoon the water started to return to the river, and by evening the roads were open again and mopping up began.

	A STUDY OF THE ECONOMICS OF RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF PESTICIDES Final Report to the Department of the Environment
		Four specific pesticide control scenarios were studied in detail using case studies on two sources of drinking water: a surface water (River Leam, Warwickshire) and a groundwater (Colne Valley, Hertfordshire).
		The costs of water treatment (by adsorption on granular activated carbon and/or ozonation) to reduce the predicted levels of pesticides to the prescribed level for drinking water were calculated from water treatment models.
		A protection zone 10 metres wide on each side of the river and tributaries of the Leam catchment should ensure compliance with the prescribed limit in drinking water.

		The reservoir was completed in 1970 and at full capacity covers more than 600 acres to a maximum depth of 65feet and has a capacity of 5,000 million gallons.
		It has not been created by damming a river but is a storage reservoir filled with water pumped from the river Leam during the winter months, helping to reduce the floods.
		During summer months, water is pumped up a pipe line to Rugby, and also released back into the Leam, which is used as an aqueduct to convey the water to Royal Leamington Spa.
