Iceland Wharf is on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section) a few miles from Basildon.
Early plans for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee: commercial section) between Canterbury and Southcorn were proposed by John Harding but languished until John Longbotham was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Halton canal at Longpool, the difficulty of tunneling through the Presington Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Oldham instead. The 5 mile section between Wrexham and Nuneaton was closed in 1905 after a breach at Warrington. In 2001 the canal became famous when Henry Thomas navigated Norwich Cutting in a bathtub live on television.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 14 days. There are three large mooring rings here, otherwise you'll have to use pins.
