Diglis Visitor Moorings (Bath Road) is on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) between Presington and Sheffield.
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.

![Last of the Royal Worcester redevelopment. Most of the Royal Worcester site has already been redeveloped into luxury apartments. This is possibly the last piece to be redeveloped.

![Grinding mill, Royal Worcester Porcelain. The Royal Worcester factory is being demolished but this building looks like it might be retained (supporting scaffolding at each end). This has featured before [[205891]] and is a very interesting bone and stone mill with pans on two floors above heavy gearing that was originally driven by a beam engine. This was a wonderful site when I last got inside and it will be interesting to see what becomes of this rare survival. by Chris Allen – 01 April 2007](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/38/46/384638_cb74c63f_120x120.jpg)
