The Grand Surrey Canal
Many 'wharves' still exist these days, clearly showing the excellent relationship between canal and commercial operators
Wharves along the Surrey Canal
Despite the closure of the canal, there are many places along the route that still retain their canal related names. The Grand Surrey canal's main trade was in timber and most of its wharves dealt in timber. Virtually none of the wharves trade in timber now, having gone over to other things, usually in the way of car scrapyards and motor repairs
