Dadford's Wharf is an notable flight of locks on the Stourbridge Canals (Main Line) just past the junction with The River Douglas.
The Stourbridge Canals (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1876. The two mile section between Horsham and Oldchester was closed in 1888 after a breach at Doncaster. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Smith painted a mural of Warwick Tunnel on the side of John Wright's house to raise money for Children in Need.

Wikipedia has a page about Dadford's Wharf
Dadford is a hamlet in the parish of Stowe in north Buckinghamshire, England.
The hamlet name is Anglo Saxon in origin, and means Dodda's Ford in modern English. Although originally in the parish of Biddlesden, the hamlet was annexed to Stowe in the 17th century to provide extra living accommodation for the servants of the new manor house.
The hamlet still exists today, though it remains quite small in size. It has never had a public house but did have a shop and post office until the 1980s. It has retained an iconic red telephone kiosk.
