Knighton Wharf

Knighton Wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal. The wharf was used by Cadbury's from 1911 to 1961. Chocolate "crumb" was produced in the adjoining factory, using local milk, and was taken by narrow boat to Bourneville in Birmingham.

Cadbury built the crumb factory at Knighton because it was found to be more efficient to take the cocoa to the milk than transport the milk over a long distance.
