No it doesn't. Near miss though.
Like saying the Tees flows through Hartlepool.

Are you saying someone who uses captials for every word would lie?

According To Britannica Encyclopaedia It Did, Search River Wear (Capital Letters Included)

According to natural history it didn't. Maybe there was an estuary that went that way but it would take hundreds of thousands of years to carve a gap the width of the wear.

River Wear, river that rises near Wearhead in the county of Durham, England, and enters the North Sea at Sunderland. With headwaters in the Pennines, it flows through Weardale and once entered the sea in the vicinity of Hartlepool, but it was subsequently diverted northward
(From Britannica)

In the 19th century? Really?

We had the tools in the 19th century to divert a fucking RIVER 20 miles north, when industry on the river Wear in Sunderland was already established?

It would have been pre Ice age at the very latest, that was the last shift we had that could have caused such a thing.

That's all very well, but I'm only interested in when it was diverted away from Scunthorpe.

Wonder if we could move the Mississippi River to Hartlepool, I like their mud pies.
