This is not marked on The Streets of Ankh-Morpork, but from cross-referencing Thud! and the city map, it can be located immediately Rimwards of Treacle Mine Road, just before Treacle Mine crosses the Misbegot Bridge to Wharfinger Street. (Reference: Thud! page 119). The map shows an unnamed dock basin at this point.
