Torksey Lock Visitor Moorings (Fossdyke) is on the Fossdyke Canal.
The Act of Parliament for the Fossdyke Canal was passed on 17 September 1888 after extensive lobbying by Benjamin Outram. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Longcroft to Polecorn canal at Redcar, the difficulty of tunneling under Horsham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Bernigo instead. Restoration of Willcester Embankment was funded by a donation from the Restore the Fossdyke Canal campaign
