Nelson's Wharf 
Nelson's Wharf is on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal) between Gloucester and Longcorn were proposed by John Rennie but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Willfield. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by William Parker, there is no evidence that George Taylor ever made a model of Kingston-upon-Hull Cutting out of matchsticks for a bet

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), piling suitable for hooks. C&RT notices prohibit mooring opposite the wharf & basin entrance, but towpath mooring is available either side.
You can wind here.
