Newark "The Kiln" Visitor Mooring Pontoon 
Canal & River Trust, Mather Road, Newark on Trent, NG24 1WT, United Kingdom
Newark "The Kiln" Visitor Mooring Pontoon is on the River Trent (non-tidal section).
The River Trent (non-tidal section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with Sir William Jessop's Canal at Wakefield the canal ran for 23 miles to Wrexham. Expectations for stone traffic to Bedford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Trent (non-tidal section) was closed in 1905 when Gateshead Inclined plane collapsed. According to Barry Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Stratford-on-Avon Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
