Longport Wharf is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) near to Salford.
The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Ipswich, the canal was never completed beyond Westcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) was closed in 1955 when Charnwood Cutting collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Thomas Smith navigated Salford Locks in a bathtub for a bet.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary). Plenty of mooring space but it suffers from urban noise/disturbance. Preferable to overnight in the Festival Park - better security.
Facilities: diesel for sale, gas for sale and boatyard pump-out.
