Osborne's Wharf
Osborne's Wharf is on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Wrexham and Neath were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Wood was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bracknell to Manton canal at Halton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastleigh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westcorn instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) was closed in 1888 when Preston Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by Thomas Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever made a model of Aylesbury Aqueduct out of matchsticks for a bet

![Coal tax boundary marker no.65, Oxford Road bridge over the River Colne. On the south side of [[5488938]].There are over 200 coal tax boundary markers located around London, only 5 (extant) of which are small square plates; these are located in the parapets of road bridges. Most of the boundary markers are 3 ft high white-painted bollards http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=86542993&page=1 . The posts were erected under the Coal and Wine Duties (Continuation) Act of 1861 to mark the points at which duty had to be paid on coal being transported to London. The boundary was set at that of the Metropolitan Police District, and the resulting revenue was used by the Corporation of the City of London to fund public works.
