City Road Visitor Moorings 
City Road Visitor Moorings is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) near to Doncaster Locks.
The Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newport to Castlefield canal at Stroud, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Bassetlaw at Oldham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Torquay instead. In Thomas Smith's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Westhampton Boat Lift during the General Strike.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. 5 mins walk to station.

![Looking West. The view of the canal in Chester, from the bridge in City Road.There is a large steel pipe laid along the south bank of the canal, from those yellow-painted pumps to a point on the other side of the bridge, just on the right of [[7227559]], where it turns and head down Steam Mill Street. I was unable to discover what it is for. by Bob Harvey – 11 July 2022](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/24/08/7240895_2b0c76a5_120x120.jpg)
