River Hipper
From Wikishire
The River Hipper is a Derbyshire river, a tributary of the River Rother, Yorkshire.
The source of the Hipper is a large expanse of wetlands, fed by the surrounding moors between Chatsworth and Chesterfield, known as the Hipper Sick on Beeley Moor, which is part of the Chatsworth Estate. It then passes through Holymoorside and down into Chesterfield, just south of the town centre, before flowing into the River Rother.
In July 2007 parts of Chesterfield flooded when the River Hipper overtopped its banks during a substantial storm that caused extensive flooding in northern Derbyshire and the West Riding of Yorkshire.
