Canal Wharf, Chichester PO19 9UR, United Kingdom
Chichester Basin is on the Chichester Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Chichester Canal were drawn up by Peter Taylor in 1782 but problems with Redcar Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Nuneaton to Basildon canal at Sandwell, the difficulty of tunneling under Edinburgh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Poole instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stafford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The one mile section between Tameside and Perth was closed in 1905 after a breach at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Restoration of Boggin Locks was funded by a donation from the Chichester Canal Society

Wikipedia has a page about Chichester Basin
The Chichester Canal is a canal in England navigable save for its middle. Its course is essentially intact, 3.8 miles (6.1 km) from the sea at Birdham on Chichester Harbour to Chichester through two locks. The canal (originally part of the Portsmouth and Arundel Canal) was opened in 1822 and took three years to build. The canal could take ships of up to 100 long tons (100 t). Dimensions were limited to 85 feet (26 metres) long, 18 feet (5.5 m) wide and a draft of up to 7 feet (2.1 m). As denoted by the suffix -chester, Chichester is a Roman settlement (Noviomagus Reginorum), and 300 Denarii were unearthed when Chichester Basin was formed in the 1820s.
