Old boathouse at Wolseley Bridge

I recently stumbled on this old building between the canal towpath and river Trent, It’s below Wolseley Bridge and opposite Bishton Hall. 

It’s quite hard to spot from the towpath as the roof of the building is at canal level, with the arched entrance down the bank facing the river. If it went back any further it would almost undermine the towpath. Googling “Bishton Hall old boathouse” shows an image of a once very grand building, the arch and curving side entrance are now all that remains. Which came first though, the boathouse or canal?
