Description: Fairham Brook is located on the East bank of the Trent and once served as a focal point for picnics and playing children. Nearby was the Round House (see NTGM006847). The bridge and pillars seen here were likely to have been an entrance to Clifton Grove. On summer weekends, people would buy a tea of eggs, bread, butter and fruit to eat in the Round House grounds and by the water. Local boys would dam up part of the brook to create a swimming pool and others would fish among the shallows. (Information extracted from the excellent Wilford and Clifton web-site)
