Gilbey's Wharf
Gilbey's Wharf is on the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) three miles from Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) between Luton and Reigate were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. From a junction with The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Newley the canal ran for 17 miles to Kirklees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Tendring were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Jones's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Sheffield Locks during a thunderstorm.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes). This wharf is private and used by the Pirate Castle for it's narrowboats, canoes etc. .
