Pewsey Wharf on the Kennet and Avon Canal in Wiltshire, England. This is in the heart of the beautiful Vale of Pewsey. The canal reached here in 1810 when the wharf would have been a hive of industrial activity. However, the construction of the Great Western Railway which arrived at Pewsey in 1862 meant that the canal gradually fell into disuse. Having become derelict by the mid 1900s, a restoration programme was put in place and the canal was at last fully reopened to traffic in 1990. Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200
