Change in tribute[edit]

The article said, "The river was originally a tributary of the River Lee, but it now flows into Pymmes Brook, another Lee tributary, which may have been extended artificially in parallel with the Lee, possibly as long ago as the 17th century." I tried to break this run-on up, but the second part is causing me a bit of confusion, so I was hoping to get some clarification on it, so I don't put something inaccurate into the article. I'm thinking the "may have been extended artificially in parallel with the Lee, possibly as long ago as the 17th century," is indicating that the connection to the River Moselle (R.M.) may have been done in the 17th Century? Is the extension what caused this rerouting (speculated to have caused)? Because it doesn't actually say that, so I don't want to just guess. Or is it just a note that the Prymmes may have been extended, which might be interesting to know, but is unrelated to the rerouting? Thanks. ChildofMidnight (talk) 16:14, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I don't know the wiki ropes, but I just wanted to point out that as far as I know, and see on a daily basis, the Moselle does not flow into Pymme's brook, but into the Lea Navigation, at the North East corner of Markfield Park. I am confused! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.180.103 (talk) 00:20, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
