White Horse Lane Junction 
White Horse Lane Junction is on the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - River Soar Navigation) near to Thurrock.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - River Soar Navigation) was passed on January 1 1782 the same day as that of The Daventry Canal. "Travels of The Implacable" by Barry Green describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Oxford Cutting.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). moorings here are good but made of medium high concrete and stone, so you need to climb up off your boat to access the tow path.
You can wind here.
