The oldest surviving iron aqueduct in the world can be found at Longdon-on-Tern, northwest of Wellington. Also near Wellington is Wappenshall Junction, with a rare survival of an interchange wharf and warehouses, now the home of the Shrewsbury and Newport Canals Trust, which has plans to restore the canal to its former glory. Various short sections are still in water, including at Norbury Junction, the eastern terminus of the canal.
