Sainsbury's Moorings (Alperton)

Sainsbury's Moorings (Alperton) is on the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch).
The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Birmingham, the canal was never completed beyond Longcester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was closed in 1955 when Oldley Cutting collapsed. According to Henry Smith's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Teignbridge Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed. Mooring is limited to 7 days. £25 per day for overstaying.

As ever the internet provides a source for some group with a dedicated interest and London's bus garages are no exception! See http://www.londonbusgarages.co.uk/mbtopm.html for full details of all the types of buses garaged here since it was built.From a purely Geograph point of view (another dedicated interest!) the bus garage straddles both this grid square and [[TQ1883]], with the bulk of it in this one. by Nigel Cox – 05 May 2008](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/79/54/795448_b0fb4c42_120x120.jpg)
