Houghton Brook

 ( Rivers Of Bedfordshire ) 

Houghton Brook, the lower section sometimes known as Knapps Brook, is a minor tributary of the River Lea which flows through the northwest suburbs of Luton.

Houghton Brook starts in Houghton Regis and is fed by a number of smaller brooks in the area, mostly supplied by surface water from farmland and the various local villages and housing estates.
