In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Brook Street like this:
BROOK-STREET, a hamlet in South Weald parish, Essex; on Watling-street and the Ingerburn river, near the Eastern Counties railway, 1½ mile WSW of Brentwood. A leper's hospital, with chapel, was founded here, before the time of Edward I., by the Bruyns.
Brook Street is now part of BRENTWOOD District. Click here for graphs and data of how BRENTWOOD has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Brook Street itself, go to Statistics.
