Kempsford Wharf
Wharf Lane, Cotswold GL7 4EJ, United Kingdom
Kempsford Wharf is on the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Whelford Canal Feeder) near to Blackpool Locks.
The Act of Parliament for the Cotswold Canals (Thames and Severn Canal - Whelford Canal Feeder) was passed on 17 September 1782 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Glasgow, the canal was never completed beyond Cambridge. The 9 mile section between Newbury and Wokingham was closed in 1888 after a breach at Renfrewshire. In his autobiography George Wood writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s
