River Colne

There are several different rivers named River Colne, all in England:

  • River Colne, Essex — the river of Halstead, Colchester and Wivenhoe.
  • River Colne, Hertfordshire — tributary of the River Thames, flowing from south Hertfordshire to form the border of Buckinghamshire and Greater London with distributaries there and in Berkshire and Surrey.
  • River Colne, West Yorkshire — the river of Huddersfield and a tributary of the Calder.

The English canal network connects to the rivers in Hertfordshire and West Yorkshire.

Famous quotes containing the word river:

    “You scour the Bowery, ransack the Bronx,
    Through funeral parlors and honky-tonks.
    From river to river you comb the town
    For a place to lay your family down.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
