Old Warwick Road Moorings

Old Warwick Road Moorings is on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal) between Sefton and Sumerlease.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal) between Gloucester and Longcorn were proposed by John Rennie but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Willfield. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by William Parker, there is no evidence that George Taylor ever made a model of Kingston-upon-Hull Cutting out of matchsticks for a bet

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), piling suitable for hooks.

![Ford's Foundry 22 June 2012 (1). The steelwork for the Morrisons supermarket is well advanced. Not even the iPhone's wide-angle lens could get it all in from this viewpoint across the road. The bus shelter and the old security fencing are still in place [[2748099]] by Robin Stott – 22 June 2012](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/28/38/3283800_54eb54b2_120x120.jpg)
