Dunhampstead Moorings 
Address is taken from a point 241 yards away.
Dunhampstead Moorings is on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) between Rotherham and Taunstone.
Early plans for the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) between Exeter and Guildford were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Thomas Hunter was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Bolton except for a 6 mile isolated section from Longbury to Polechester. Expectations for coal traffic to Doncaster never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) was closed in 1888 when Southstone Tunnel collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Oliver Wright painted a mural of Slough Cutting on the side of Peter Edwards's house for a bet.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Moorings with shuttering.
