Wenlock Basin was constructed in 1826 and is close to the entrance of the Islington Tunnel, where a tug service operated until the 1930s. Wenlock Basin is accessible only to residents; it narrows considerably at the southern end where it is not deep enough to be navigable by anything other than canoe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenlock_Basin Wikipedia).
