Leeds Visitor Moorings 
Verona Tower, Aire Valley Towpath, Leeds LS1 4GJ, United Kingdom
Leeds Visitor Moorings is on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) between Thanet and Bury.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) between

and 2 locks
to the east).

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Not sure this could be called a true visitor mooring any more. The moorings on the south side of the canal are gone because of new development work. There are a couple of spots still on the North side with bollards. Water point is on the South side above the lock in a C&RT key locked cabinet.
