Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Quiet by the bridge - although next to the railway, these Virgin Pendolinos are very quiet trains!.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
Lower Burston Bridge No 85 | 1 mile, 7½ furlongs | |
Flute Meadow Bridge No 84 | 1 mile, 2½ furlongs | |
Sandon Winding Hole | 1 mile, ¾ furlongs | |
Sandon Lock No 25 | 1 mile | |
Sandon Bridge No 83 | 7¾ furlongs | |
Salt Bridge No 82 | ||
Sandy Lane Winding Hole | 3 furlongs | |
Stockings Brook Aqueduct | 5¼ furlongs | |
Sandy Lane Bridge No 81 | 7 furlongs | |
Gayton Brook Aqueduct | 1 mile, ¾ furlongs | |
Weston Bridge No 80 | 1 mile, 1½ furlongs |
There are mooring rings to the North of the bridge, approx every ten paces.
Moor up at either side of the bridge and head south (away from the railway bridge) approximately 200 yards up the road. At the T junction turn right and you will see the Holly Bush Inn (sadly, temporarily closed. ‘To Let' @ September 2020).
Recommended to us by a colleague, we ventured into a very busy pub
on a Sunday night in the middle of August.
The bar staff are
exceptional at their job and are very polite, courteous and fast. Our
party consisted of 2 adults and three children aged between 8 and 12.
Although no children's menu available the children ate the biggest
fish and chips with no problem at all.
I ordered a steak and ale
pie and my partner had the Greek Lamb. All delivered very quickly and
very hot, tasting superb, unbelievable for the quality compared to
many alongside the canal.
Highly recommended try it as soon as
possible.

Wikipedia has a page about Salt Bridge
A salt bridge or ion bridge, in electrochemistry, is a laboratory device used to connect the oxidation and reduction half-cells of a galvanic cell (voltaic cell), a type of electrochemical cell. It maintains electrical neutrality within the internal circuit. If no salt bridge were present, the solution in one half cell would accumulate negative charge and the solution in the other half cell would accumulate positive charge as the reaction proceeded, quickly preventing further reaction, and hence production of electricity.
Salt bridges usually come in two types: glass tube and filter paper.
