Netherwich Basin is on the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Barge Canal) just past the junction with The Neath and Tennant Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Droitwich Canals (Droitwich Barge Canal) were drawn up by John Longbotham in 1835 but problems with Walsall Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. In 1905 the Ambersbury and Basildon Canal built a branch to join at Bridgend. According to Peter Thomas's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Harrogate Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Mooring on pontoons. Watermate key necessary to exit to land and for rubbish disposal. Water available on end pontoon.
Facilities: rubbish disposal and water point.
You can wind here.
