The area or bank alongside a brook; the edge or embankment of a small stream.
Compound word: 'brook' plus 'side,' indicating the location next to a stream. A geographical term used since at least the 16th century.
Brookside became so iconic in English pastoral poetry that it symbolizes peace and natural beauty—think of Izaak Walton's 'Compleat Angler' describing ideal fishing brookside scenes.
