From the end of the cut to Littleport, this river is joined by the Little Ouse at Brandon Bridge, and at Creek Ferry by the Wissey or Stoke River, and proceeding to Denver Sluice where the New Bedford River connects with it. Leaving Downham Market to the east it passes on to Wiggen Hall, where that immense cut lately finished by Sir Edward Banks, called the Eau Brink Cut, conducts the waters down to Lynn. The Eau Brink Cut is 300 feet wide and nearly three miles long; the ordinary tides rise 15 feet.
