Shardlow and Stourbridge are the only two inland ports which still exist largely intact in Britain. Shardlow is a village of two parts. To the west is the old village, predating the canal. To east, the inland port was a new settlement created by the construction of the Trent and Mersey Canal, opened in Shardlow's impressive collection of warehouses and boat owner's houses, with the waterway as a backbone, give it a distinct character and a strong sense of place.

Even before the canal was built, Shardlow was of significance for its ferry on the main road and for its situation on the Trent Navigation. Shardlow today has many inns and restaurants and the canal and river have been extensively developed for leisure use.
