Saltaire Visitor Moorings 
Saltaire Visitor Moorings is on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) near to Cardiff Cutting.
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 excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 6 hours. Mooring (08.00-18.00). No overnight mooring permitted.

![Canal Towpath approaching Saltaire Mills. Looking along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath in the direction of Saltaire, the large building on the north side of the canal (right hand side as we are looking at it) is Titus Salt’s “New Mill†which was built in 1868 by local architects Henry Lockwood and Richard Mawson. It was designed in Italianate style to match Salt’s original mill ([[[4402353]]]) and is on the opposite side of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, between the canal and the river. Following the closure of the mills in 1986, New Mill was restored and is now divided between offices for the local National Health Service Trusts and residential flats. The mill, with its distinctive chimney, is a grade II listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 337547 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-337547-saltaire-mills-north-block-new-mill-and- British Listed Buildings).The original Salt’s Mill is on the left, mostly hidden behind the warehouse and the trees. by David Dixon – 25 March 2015](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/40/45/4404546_c67e43fd_120x120.jpg)
