A programme of survey and research was undertaken at Hancock’s Tramway Exchange Wharf in Buckley, Flintshire, a scheduled monument now within the Lane End and Knowle Hill Nature Reserve. Built in the 19th century to connect local brickworks and collieries to the mainline railway, the wharf played a key role in the region’s industrial transport network until the 1940s. Earlier excavations revealed remarkably well-preserved tramway remains, but natural overgrowth and loss of features have since obscured the site. This project recorded its current condition to inform future conservation and management.
