LONGPORT WHARF - OUR ASSOCIATION WITH A HISTORICAL LANDMARK

Longport Wharf has a deep-rooted history dating back to the late 18th century. Before the canal’s completion, the area was known as Longbridge, named after a simple footbridge made of planks. The construction of the Trent and Mersey Canal in 1777 transformed the region, bringing about the name Longport. The canal became vital to the area's development, engineered by Hugh Henshall, who succeeded his brother-in-law James Brindley. Henshall oversaw Longport's main wharf and built the Pack Horse Inn around 1780, which served as a rest stop for boatmen and their horses.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

"Great boat yard and amazing service. This boatyard has become our go-to for any work on our narrowboat. The team is super experienced and an absolute delight to work with. They fit us in and went above and beyond with all the work they've done. I can't recommend it enough".

"We had an electrical issue shortly after passing Stoke boats. After calling them, they referred us to Simon Hopwood, who came straight out and sorted out the issue very quickly, enabling us to carry on. Great service by both. Many thanks".
