Clifton Wharf

Clifton Wharf is on the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) just past the junction with The River Neath Navigation.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary). Busy area because of the boat yard. Mooring possible but not advised.
Facilities: diesel for sale, chemical toilet disposal, gas for sale, coal for sale, boatyard pump-out and laundrette.
