Description
The wharf is depicted on a Chirk Castle Estate map of 1806, and was constructed in association with a tramway. The wharf is triangular in shape and measures 16m wide at its entrance and 30m long. Its original stone revetment survives along much of its length although it is often obscured by vegetation. The vegetation should be cleared and the stone revetment repaired <1>
A historical, archaeological and landscape 'tier two' survey of Llanymynech and the surrounding environs was undertaken and included land that had previously been used for limestone quarrying and a large area of mixed woodland. In 1838 Pickerings line ran down from the quarry to north-west into land parcel 97 (described as part of inclined plane and railway) on the tithe (PRN 08403). From here it continued through land parcels 116 (part of railway) and 111 (ditto) (PRN 08404). The line terminated at the company’s wharf (108) on the canal. <2>
