History The cottage is located at what was once the site of Chippenham Wharf, the termination of the Canal.

Following the expansion of Chippenham in the late 18th century, in 1803 a wharf was built to accommodate growing industry. 1810 saw the opening of a canal which ran through the Town. This canal gave the Town access to the markets of Bristol and London, leading to the expansion of the cloth industry as coal could be brought in for the new steam factories that were being built. Coal delivery tonnages in 1838 show that Chippenham and Stanley were second only to Abingdon, receiving four times as much coal as Swindon - Chippenham ended up with this very important wharf. It is thought that the original wharf walls are still intact, buried under the tarmac of the bus station. Historic photos are included on this marketing for interest purposes.
