Bingley Visitor Moorings is on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) near to Southend.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary). Mooring is limited to 3 days.

![Damart factory, Bingley. One of Yorkshire's iconic industrial buildings, perhaps surprisingly not listed although it is protected by the status of being in a conservation area. Properly known as Bowling Green Mill. Most of the buildings have been stone-cleaned including the engine house [[2205628]] but the adjacent chimney has been left in its soot-blackened state. by Stephen Craven – 11 April 1999](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/63/48/7634831_3759fb4b_120x120.jpg)
