Autherley Junction Visitor Moorings
Address is taken from a point 280 yards away.
Autherley Junction Visitor Moorings is on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Aldersley to Autherley) between Bedford and Bristol.
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Aldersley to Autherley) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1876. The canal joined the sea near Halton. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Dover never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Aldersley to Autherley) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of manure from Northampton to Manstone prevented closure. According to John Wood's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Conway Boat Lift is haunted by the ghost of Barry Yates, a navvy, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary).
