There is a short arm off the Montgomery Canal which once served a grain mill, now a small industrial estate; it is home to a handful of narrowboats. Until the mid-1930s boats plied between here and Ellesmere Port on a regular basis but the traffic ceased when a breach closed the canal until restoration many decades later.
