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). On summer weekends, people would buy a tea of eggs, bread, butter and fruit and 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)
