The Bulstake Stream or Bullstake Stream is a tributary of the Thames near Oxford , England.
The tributary branches off the river at a point known as the Four Rivers , on the southwest corner of Fiddler's Island across from the Sheepwash Channel . Immediately afterwards it flows past Tumbling Bay , a place that was used as a bathing place from 1853 to 1990. Osney Ditch branches off the Bulstake Stream and flows southeast to Osney . The Bulstake Stream follows a semicircle first to the west and then to the south. He crosses under two bridges. The Seacourt Stream joins him at North Hinksey. It then flows in an easterly direction past the Osney Mead industrial area and flows into the Thames at the Osney Rail Bridge. The Thames Path crosses it on Boney's Bridge.
Until 1790 this was the main shipping route on the Thames. This became a branch when the Osney Lock was opened.
