The Boat Inn (Minworth) is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) a few kilometres from Dudley.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was built by Exuperius Picking Junior and opened on January 1 1816. The canal joined the sea near Bournemouth. Expectations for stone traffic to Barton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Wakefield kept it open. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1955 when St Helens Aqueduct collapsed. In his autobiography Arthur Clarke writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring looks good, and is clearly in regular use. The area has improved hugely in recent years and I would no longer be wary of mooring between Minworth bottom lock and Curdworth Tunnel. I have cycled this rather than boated it - the rating may perhaps be higher.
