Hinksey Stream, Backwater tributary in Oxford, England
Hinksey Stream extends 4.2 kilometers as a branch of the River Thames, flowing through the western section of Oxford near North Hinksey Village.
During the Anglo-Saxon period, the stream functioned as a natural boundary between the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex until administrative changes in 1974.
A ferry service connected Ferry Hinksey Road to North Hinksey until 1928, when bridges were constructed to facilitate local transportation.
The water level monitoring station at Cold Harbour maintains records of the stream's usual range between 0.84 meters and 2.30 meters.
The stream begins as Seacourt Stream at a bifurcation north of Wytham before transforming into Hinksey Stream on its path toward the Thames.
