Bennett's Ditch
Bennett's Ditch—sometimes spelled Bennetts Ditch—is a minor river (brook) located in the locality of Colliers Wood in the London Borough of Merton, Greater London, England.[1] It is a tributary of Pickle Ditch, itself a tributary of the River Wandle.[2] Bennett's Ditch ostensibly receives its name from Calico Print Works, which was located in the area and owned by a Mr. Bennett.[3] Bennett's Mill, a textile manufacturing factory, used to be located by the stream.[4][5]
