High Onn Wharf
High Onn Wharf
High Onn Wharf is a historic canal wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal Main Line) in Staffordshire, situated a short distance northwest of High Onn Bridge No. 25.
The wharf opened in 1835 alongside the canal, which was engineered by Thomas Telford, who also designed the nearby grade II listed bridge.
The site retains a warehouse and represents one of the points where the canal channel widens, a characteristic feature of working wharves along this route. It lies between High Onn Bridge No. 25 to the southeast and Cowley Tunnel No.
33 to the northwest, and boaters can wind (turn) at this location.
