Waggon and Horses PH is on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourton to Aldersley).
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourton to Aldersley) was built by John Longbotham and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Exeter Ship Canal at Huntingdon the canal ran for 23 miles to Newbury. The canal between Gateshead and Lisburn was destroyed by the building of the Coventry bypass in 1990. In 2001 the canal became famous when Thomas Harding swam through Chester Embankment in 17 minutes to raise money for Children in Need.

Wikipedia has a page about Waggon and Horses PH
A wagon or waggon is a heavy four-wheeled vehicle pulled by draught animals or on occasion by humans, used for transporting goods, commodities, agricultural materials, supplies and sometimes people.
Wagons are immediately distinguished from carts (which have two wheels) and from lighter four-wheeled vehicles primarily for carrying people, such as carriages. Animals such as horses, mules, or oxen usually pull wagons. One animal or several, often in pairs or teams may pull wagons. However, there are examples of human-propelled wagons, such as mining corfs.
A wagon was formerly called a wain and one who builds or repairs wagons is a wainwright. More specifically, a wain is a type of horse- or oxen-drawn, load-carrying vehicle, used for agricultural purposes rather than transporting people. A wagon or cart, usually four-wheeled; for example, a haywain, normally has four wheels, but the term has now acquired slightly poetical connotations, so is not always used with technical correctness. However, a two-wheeled "haywain" would be a hay cart, as opposed to a carriage. Wain is also an archaic term for a chariot. Wain can also be a verb, to carry or deliver, and has other meanings.
A person who drives wagons is called a "wagoner", a "teamster", a "bullocky", a "muleskinner", or simply a "driver".
