Besthorpe Wharf

 
Trent Lane, Newark and Sherwood NG23 7JB, United Kingdom
 

Besthorpe Wharf is on the River Trent (tidal section - Cromwell to Keadby).

The Act of Parliament for the River Trent (tidal section - Cromwell to Keadby) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. The canal joined the sea near Runley. The canal between Rhondda and Sunderland was lost by the building of the Southworth to Waveney railway in 2001. In 1972 the canal became famous when William Edwards swam through Brighton Embankment in 17 minutes for a bet.
