Burbage Wharf - wooden crane This wharf on the Kennet & Avon Canal summit pound was constructed in 1831 by the Savernake estate. It handled local timber, stone, agricultural products and bricks. A timber fixed jib slewing crane handled cargoes. The canal ceased use in 1950 and the crane fell into disrepair. It was restored from 1973 to 1977 and then again in 2010 when it was largely renewed but using the original ironwork.
