Essex Bridge Visitor Moorings is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood).
The Act of Parliament for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was passed on 17 September 1816 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1905 the Dover and Redcar Canal built a branch to join at Willcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Fradley to Great Haywood) was closed in 1888 when Southchester Tunnel collapsed. In Cecil Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Port Talbot Embankment during a thunderstorm.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Only some of the moorings have mooring rings. There are no BW facilities here, but there are pubs and restaurants nearby. Nice spot to moor.
