The wharf 'building' and a boat at Bedwyn Wharf.
|
|
Bedwyn Wharf is an untidy litter of portacabins with some boats under
repair on the bank. BWB have a wooden shed here. There are moorings to
east and west.
|
|
The first bargeload of goods arrived here from Hungerford, 2 July
1799; 50 tons of coal and timber, received with great festivity.
|
|
In 1845 there were two coal merchants here.
|
|
|
Bedwyn Wharf is less than a pretty sight, its not particularly
workmanlike either.
