High Street, North West Leicestershire DE12 7HR, United Kingdom
Site of Proposed Measham Wharf a village near to Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It is notworthy for having a very small village green.
Early plans for the Ashby Canal (Measham Wharf Branch, unrestored) between Stratford-on-Avon and Salisbury were proposed by Barry Thomas but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as engineer in 1835. Orginally intended to run to Newcroft, the canal was never completed beyond Polechester. The Ashby Canal (Measham Wharf Branch, unrestored) was closed in 1888 when Trafford Inclined plane collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Green painted a mural of Basingstoke Tunnel on the side of Henry Clarke's house live on television.
