The River Lostock is a
river inLancashire ,England .The source of the Lostock is at the confluence of Slack Brook and Whave's Brook at the entrance to Miller Wood near
Withnell Fold .Slack Brook drains an area around Brindle, having its source close to Thorpe Green just outside the village, whereas Whave's Brook rises near Brimmicroft and runs southwards, almost parallel to the
Leeds and Liverpool Canal byOllerton Fold . Whave's Brook is fed by Laund Brook, running northwards from close toWithnell .The Lostock continues along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to Lower Copthurst, where it turns westwards, watering
Whittle-le-Woods before turning north byClayton-le-Woods , then running through theCuerden Valley Park .Having been joined by Clayton Brook, draining the village of the same name to the east, the river moves westwards, skirting
Lostock Hall , then flows south west, pastFarington and through the western suburbs of the town of Leyland, collecting Mill Brook (fromWorden Park ) and Hollin's Brook (draining Runshaw Moor), before moving west once again towardsCroston , where it collects Wymott Brook (emanating from close toMidge Hall ) before joining the River Yarrow shortly afterwards.
