Retford Wharf Road 
Spicers Court, Retford, DN22 6FF, United Kingdom
Retford Wharf Road is on the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) just past the junction with The Worcester and Birmingham Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Leicester Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rotherham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barbury to Longley prevented closure. Restoration of Northington Cutting was funded by a donation from the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) Society
