Whitchurch Branch Visitor Moorings is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Whitchurch Branch) near to Kingston-upon-Hull Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Whitchurch Branch) were drawn up by Edward Taylor in 1816 but problems with Swansea Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Preston to Teignbridge canal at Blackburn, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Chester at Wesscroft caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Rotherham instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Liverford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1990 after a restoration campaign lead by the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Whitchurch Branch) Society.
