Brandy Wharf is a hamlet in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies near and between Waddingham and South Kelsey, where the B1205 crosses the River Ancholme.
Brandy Wharf's history has been linked with smuggling. Its name is derived from Brande, a religious sect of Viking settlers who became stranded after their invasion in 867AD and set up a ferry service. The west bank pick-up point became known as Brande’s Wharf, hence its present name.
The Bridge was constructed in cast iron by engineer John Rennie in 1831. The ribs were cast by The Butterley Company.[1]
Brandy Wharf Leisure Park and the adjacent Cider Centre are located at Brandy Wharf.
