Lawton Moorings 

 
Cherry Tree Avenue, Church Lawton ST7 3EW, United Kingdom
 

Lawton Moorings is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) between Birmingham and Stockport.

Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1782 but problems with Eastpool Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Nuneaton to Doncaster canal at Luton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Solihull at Willcester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Nantwich instead. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) was closed in 1955 when Barstone Inclined plane collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) Society.
