Fazeley Visitor Moorings (Tolson's Mill) 
Fazeley Visitor Moorings (Tolson's Mill) is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) a few miles from Southampton.
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 excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 7 days.

A very similar view to [[[713509]]] I admit, but this photo was taken from on top of Watling Street Bridge in Fazeley as opposed to from the towpath.
