About

Laurel Wharf is a listed building in Somerset; built in 1840, in the plain Regency tradition of storage architecture, the iron crane still projects over the loading doors that face the abandoned canal, here the two and a half miles of Westport Canal ends.

Westport was created as an inland port by the Parrett Navigation Company at the height of the canal era, built on the western edge of Barrington Parish, here at the level of the moors and rhines, settled in amongst the West Country meadowlands.
