Thomas Telford Basin 
Thomas Telford Basin is on the Ashton Canal (Main Line).
The Ashton Canal (Main Line) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. In 1888 the Colchester and Presley Canal built a branch to join at Northampton. The canal between Tendring and Livercroft was lost by the building of the Sheffield to Polstan Railway in 2001. According to William Jones's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Longfield Locks is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 24 hours. Signed as private mooring with 24 hour visitor mooring permitted.
