Semple’s Wharf
Semple’s Wharf is on the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) just past the junction with The River Adur.
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 under part of the old canal stables can take at least 2 widebeams or lighters and inside was the location used to film 'Q's labs/ workshop in the Bond film 'Skyfall' and escape by speedboat - seemingly onto the Thames!
