The Little River

The Little River is a minor watercourse, now channeled into a canal, that flows through Brooklawn Inner before joining the Volta. Inside the city, the Little River is crossed by numerous bridges over the canal. Before it enters the city, it forms the boundary between Brooklawn Outer and Fairgate Outer; this is the center of the tannery and leatherworking districts of the city, and dyers’ sheds and other infrastructure dots the river’s edge.
