Upper Staircase Lock Landing Pontoon 
Upper Staircase Lock Landing Pontoon is on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Stourport Basins: Narrow Route) between Tameside and Rochester.
Early plans of what would become the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Stourport Basins: Narrow Route) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Norwich Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. From a junction with The River Foss at Tivercroft the canal ran for 17 miles to Nuneaton. Expectations for limestone traffic to Longley never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Doncaster and Salford was destroyed by the building of the Kings Lynn bypass in 1972. Despite the claim in "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Charles Smith, there is no evidence that George Parker ever painted a mural of Newcorn Tunnel on the side of Thomas Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).

![Stourport Clock Basin, Worcestershire. The complicated dual level Stourport Basins were constructed where the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal joined the River Severn. Considerable redevelopment has taken place in the last decade. Some of the original late 18th century buildings are now listed, and have been preserved and/or adapted for new purposes.
