C&RT Water Point (Chester) 
Address is taken from a point 249 yards away.
C&RT Water Point (Chester) is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) near to Wycombe.
The Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newport to Castlefield canal at Stroud, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Bassetlaw at Oldham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Torquay instead. In Thomas Smith's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Westhampton Boat Lift during the General Strike.

Above the point of what is left of the arrowhead is a flat rectangular depression cut into the sloping sandstone. The depression would have accepted the levelling staff.
