About the tourJoin fellow Boundless members for a visit to Wappenshall Wharf and discover the history of this important canal site. The Shrewsbury & Newport Canal Trust is working hard to reinstate the canals between Norbury Junction, on the Shropshire Union Canal, and Shrewsbury. Wappenshall Wharf is home to a number of old buildings along the former canal, many of which are of historical significance. One of the buildings has been converted into the Welldeck Cafe, where we’ll enjoy food and drinks. A member of the Canal Trust will also lead a tour around the rest of the site, explaining the ongoing work to restore the historic buildings. There are also plans for the site to house a display of items relating to Thomas Telford, currently held by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum but not on public display. The café may serve a selection of refreshments, such as drinks, sandwiches, quiche, scones, jam and cream. The exact menu and cost will be confirmed nearer the event. |
PriceThe cost is expected to be approximately £25–£30 per person, which includes food, the guided tour and a donation to the Shrewsbury & Newport Canals Trust to support its restoration work. |

Social events are a relaxed and friendly way for Boundless members to come together, meet new people and enjoy shared interests.
Activities vary from group to group and can include anything from a museum visit or pub lunch to a guest speaker talk or games night. Groups are always pleased to welcome new faces.
Can I bring a guest with me to the event?
In most cases, yes. Guests are welcome at social events, as long as one person attending is a Boundless member.
There may be occasional exceptions, it’s always best to reach out and ask. You can used the contact details on the group’s home page or in the ‘How to book’ section of the event page.
Is there a cost to attend?
This depends on the event. Many social events are free, particularly those held at local venues. Some events, such as trips or special activities, may have a cost, but you may also be able to take advantage of exclusive Boundless member discounts.
