This is a pinch point. The normal maximum dimensions for a boat on this waterway are 200 feet long, 20 feet wide, 11 feet and 10 inches high and 8 feet and 2 inches deep, but to pass through here the maximum dimensions are 11 feet and 10 inches high.
Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Moorings against steel pilings. No facilities and no mooring cleats, but easy enough to put stakes in and access to towpath is good. Avoid fishermen.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
