Northern Basin
Northern Basin is on the Dartford & Crayford Navigation (Cray Arm) near to Thanet Embankment.
The Dartford & Crayford Navigation (Cray Arm) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Canterbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In Peter Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Preston Cutting during a thunderstorm.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring rings or bollards are available. A ladder will be needed to access footpath at anytime other than a high water spring. .
