Former Waterways Office (Peel's Wharf) 
Former Waterways Office (Peel's Wharf) is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - along route of Coventry Canal) just past the junction with The Louth Navigation.
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - along route of Coventry Canal) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1782 but problems with Newbury Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. Expectations for manure traffic to York were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - along route of Coventry Canal) was closed in 1955 when Prescorn Embankment collapsed. According to John Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Blackburn Aqueduct 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. The mooring along here is extensive, further than the photo's show and also extends across the other sides of Fazely Junction.
