This building and the wharf were operated by Cadbury's between 1911 and 1961 to process locally collected milk and produce "chocolate crumb" which was transported to Cadbury's in Bournville (Birmingham) along the Shropshire Union Canal. The premises is now used as a base for restoring historic narrowboats. Newport Road Bridge (No 45) is ahead.

Here's picture of one of the boats. SJ7922 : Narrow boats 'Yeoford' & 'Mendip' moored at Norbury Junction, Shropshire Union Canal (1)
