The River Ember was originally a distributary (the opposite of a tributary) of the River Mole, created when the Mole split into two main channels as it approached its confluence with the River Thames. The northern arm retained the name River Mole while the southern arm became the River Ember. In order to better manage flood water in the Mole a large flood relief channel was eventually built, mainly following the route of the Ember, so this new channel became known as the River Ember. Here, at the northern end of Elmbridge Recreation Ground, is one of the few surviving remnant lengths of channel of the original course of the River Ember, about to flow through Imber Court.
