Weirs Orchard Private Mooring (below the weir)
Weirs Orchard Private Mooring (below the weir) is on the River Thames (Hinksey Stream) just past the junction with The Ashby Canal.
Early plans of what would become the River Thames (Hinksey Stream) were drawn up by William Green in 1835 but problems with York Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Middle Level Navigations at St Albans the canal ran for 17 miles to Bath. Expectations for limestone traffic to Caerphilly were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Taunfield kept it open. The canal between Newcastle-under-Lyme and Mancorn was obliterated by the building of the Tendring bypass in 1990. "A Very Special Boat" by Cecil Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Maidstone Aqueduct.
