Situated along the River Esk and closest to Whitby Town Centre is Endeavour Wharf car park. There are 250 spaces here, none of which are disabled. Barton's denial of the stream thus rests on Stowe's description, which describes a route far to the west of the one proposed by Bentley. The Lorteburn or Langbourne is a lost stream or river, which ran in the east of the City of London, arising near to Aldgate, flowing south near to the Tower of London, and discharging into the River Thames. The stream appears to have been covered over or dry by the early 14th century [1] but its course has been discovered during archaeological digs in the area [1] and the watershed can be traced in the street level contours of that part of the city as mapped by Kelsey in 1841. [2] The stream gave its name to the Langbourn ward of the city. The river is seldom included on maps or lists of London's lost rivers, and its existence is denied by Nicholas Barton, in his 1962 book Lost Rivers of London, [3] but in more recent work David Bentley argues for its existence.

He first points out there is a shallow linear valley in that part of the city, first identified by Richard Kelsey's topographical survey in 1841. [2] The topography of this part of London has been changed almost beyond recognition since the 1841 survey, especially by the construction of the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway and its terminus at Fenchurch Street railway station, and thus this valley can no longer be seen in the modern contours.
