This was formerly the Corporation Wharf at the end of Nelson Street, still in commercial use in 1937 according to British History Online, but traffic fell by 90% by 1955 when the southern section of the canal was closed to commercial traffic. It is now being developed for housing. Source: https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/oxon/vol4/pp284-295 ; see also Image
