Town Wharf

Three hundred years ago much of the business in Guildford took place here, at Town Wharf. Barges from London unloaded coal, grain and imported goods, and returned downstream with timber, beer, bark for the tanning industry and fresh food. The Treadwheel Crane is a Grade II Listed Building and Scheduled Ancient Monument. Dating from the late 17th century, it is believed to be the oldest working example of its type in the country.

Sadly this is not a very clear snap, but I pass this most days on my way into Guildford town centre and sometimes you can just be aware of things around you but not really see them, if you know what I mean?

N.B. Belated back-blip on 5th June! And the trouble with back-blips is that you forget all the important stuff you were going to mention...
