2 As shown on the OS 25″ (1905) and 6″, this is a major complex to the south of the canal comprising several buildings, a boathouse, and a basin/winding hole. This complex is now Fenny Marina. It consists of canal stabling, one and two storey buildings fronting the canal and a larger house. They form a good working group, representative of the buildings of many of the wharfs in the area.
