In recent history, until the coming of the railways in the 1870’s, the Port at the junction between the BSN, the Bridge-End Causeway and the two Donington Turnpikes, provided the principal means of communication with the outside world for the local settlements of Donington approximately 2 miles east of the canal and Billingborough and Horbling approximately 4.5 miles to the West.
The facilities at the port included a large Wharf and Landing Stage, Storage Sheds and a Weighbridge. There was a Carpenters Workshop for repairing of boats. A Smithy stood adjacent to the bridge and stabling for a dozen boat horses was built at the rear of the wharf. A Dock Office was sited adjacent to the canal for the supervision of goods being landed, this was mainly coal from Boston, the return loads being farm produce principally corn. On the opposite side of the road from the port, the Sloop Inn provided sustenance to travellers, bargemen and professional fishermen who worked the BSN.
