The Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) was closed in 1905 when Newpool Embankment collapsed. In 1990 the canal became famous when Nicholas Wood painted a mural of Nuneaton Boat Lift on the side of George Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Mooring with room for at least 8 boats but awkward due to concrete shelf protruding a foot out just below water. A few disposable BBQ stands. No services.
