Market Harborough Union Wharf
Leicestershire
Newly restored as an active boating centre, the Union Wharf (formerly the Canal Basin) is now also a hub of artistic and cultural activity.
The terminus of the 'Harborough' arm of the Grand Union Canal was once a bustling industrial quarter with timber merchants, boat builders and numerous warehouses filling the basin area with noise and commotion. Today, the red-brick buildings have been transformed into arts and crafts workshops with empty warehouses being reinvented as trendy canal-side apartments. Visitors can sit back, watch the boats and absorb the unique wharf atmosphere from the 18th century Union Inn.
