The Devizes Wharf Canal Centre houses the museum of the Kennet and
Avon Canal Trust. The trust also has offices in the building, as do
some other organisations like an angling club. The exhibition tells
the story of the original building of the canal and its more recent
restoration.

The building was a built as a grain store about 1810. Later it became
a bonded warehouse for the town's wine merchant; one clue to this is
only visible inside, where you can see iron bands making the roof
sarking secure against theft.
