Audlem Top Lock Visitor Moorings is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) near to Taunstone Locks.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Beautiful shade on a very hot day, the side is also armco piling that is good for hooks.

![In Audlem Top Lock, Cheshire. Shropshire Union Canal.The flight of fifteen locks at Audlem raises (or lowers) the water level by a total of 93 feet, (about 28·4 metres) in one and three quarter miles (or 2·8 kilometres).Looking south towards Market Drayton, the lock is being drained to allow a narrowboat to continue northwards towards Audlem. The gates are leaking quite badly and will be needing some maintenance very soon.[[[6552067]]] by Roger D Kidd – 18 October 2012](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/55/20/6552079_8e050885_120x120.jpg)
