Description
The site of a canal side building shown on 1838 tithe map. Remains may exist below ground. <1>
The phase 2 restoration of the canal was monitored during 1995-1996. As the new culvert neared completion, the remains of the brick walls of a building
were revealed during the cutting back of the northwestern bank of the canal to the north of the culvert. The tops and ends of three walls were seen, all running northwest away from the canal edge. The 1838 Tithe Apportionment describes the plot containing this building as a wharf, and a building approximately 8m wide by 12m long is shown on the c.1880 OS 1:2500 plan (OS Sheet XIX.8), although it had gone by 1926 (OS 1926 Sheet XIX.8). <2>
Possibly the site of Wharf House, victim of the A5 roadworks, 1985. Other dwellings and a pub which formed parts of this strategic road and canal orientated community were demolished some years previously. <3>
