![Loading/unloading bay in the covered warehouse. Work is in progress beneath [[7124549]] to clean out the bed of the canal and to reinstate the former appearance of the working warehouse. Boats were able to float (towed by horses) right underneath the building into this arm of the canal, the horses were given food and rest in the stabling through the now bricked-up arches on the far side, and the cargo was lifted up through trapdoors or hatches, one of which can be seen in the ceiling between the substantial wooden beams. Much of the lifting gear remains in place, and hopefully will be restored to a working condition by Richard Law – 19 March 2022](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/12/53/7125366_35530250_120x120.jpg)

![Wappenshall Junction Bridge. The Thomas Telford designed masonry skewed bridge is a scheduled Ancient Monument. The Newport Branch Canal linked the Shrewsbury Canal to the Shropshire Union at Norbury Junction. Between Wappenshall and Shrewsbury the original six foot tub canal was widened to accommodate standard narrowboats. The remainder into Wellington and the coalfields stayed at the narrower width. A wharf and warehouse was constructed at Wappenshall to allow for the transhipment of goods. This is a unique feature on the canal network.The canal was closed to traffic in 1944 but remained in water for some time.
