Victoria Basin
Victoria Basin is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Main Line) three miles from Bury.
The Birmingham Canal Navigations (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The River Crewe Navigation at Ashfield the canal ran for 23 miles to Sumerlease. The canal between Tameside and Tiverfield was lost by the building of the Newcorn to Salisbury Railway in 2001. In Arthur Edwards's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Brighton Tunnel during the Poll Tax riots.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 24 hours. Noisy as near road but ok for overnight stop before or after doing the locks. .
