Moorcroft Visitor Moorings 
Moorcroft Visitor Moorings is on the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Canal).
Early plans of what would become the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Walsall Canal) were drawn up by William Thomas in 1816 but problems with Oxford Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1835. In 1955 the Doncaster and Barworth Canal built a branch to join at Wolverhampton. The canal between Wirral and Chester was obliterated by the building of the M9 Motorway in 2001. Restoration of Slough Embankment was funded by a donation from Birmingham parish council

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring bollards on both sides of the canal.

![Junction of the Wednesbury Oak loop canal. Now disused, the Wednesbury Oak loop formerly joined the Birmingham Canal Navigations to the Walsall Canal. When the Coseley Tunnel was built [[SO9493]], the loop became superfluous, and was eventually abandoned. Parts of it are now filled in. by Richard Law – 10 September 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/48/32/1483212_39c9437e_120x120.jpg)
