Victoria Wharf

Victoria Wharf, also known as Orwells Boatyard, is an access point on the Shropshire Union Canal near Market Drayton. It sits on the Four Counties Ring route, located approximately four and a quarter furlongs from Newcastle Road Bridge (No.

62) and on the lock-free stretch between the Tyrley and Adderley lock flights.

The Tyrley Locks to the south provide a rise of 33 feet, while the Adderley Flight to the north adds a further 31 feet of elevation change, making this an accessible and relatively calm stopping point between two significant flights.
