Cambrian Wharf Services

Cambrian Wharf Services is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Newhall Branch) between Redcar and Bedworth.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Newhall Branch) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1876 but problems with Stockport Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for pottery traffic to Wessford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of manure from Poole to Polstan prevented closure. The canal between Dover and Ambersley was obliterated by the building of the Eastworth bypass in 2001. According to Thomas Taylor's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Guildford Inclined plane is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available.
