Crick Marina Entrance No 2 is on the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) just past the junction with The Port Talbot and Wrexham Canal.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) between Nottingham and Polefield were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until William Yates was appointed as engineer in 1876. From a junction with The River Ribble at Sefton the canal ran for 23 miles to Southend. Expectations for stone traffic to Aylesbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) was closed in 1888 when Boggin Embankment collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Cecil Wood.

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

!['Raymond' and 'Nutfield' at Crick Boat Show. The historic narrowboat on the left, Raymond, is a butty - that is an unpowered vessel designed to be towed by a motorised boat. Her partner, Nutfield, is moored to the right and some details are given here: [[5800514]] Raymond was launched in 1958 and is believed to have been the last ever wooden narrowboat butty to be built. She ceased carrying commercial loads in 1970 and was used as a home for a few years but by the 1990s she had become derelict. An ambitious rebuilding project was started in 1999 details of which are given here: http://friendsofraymond.org.uk/raymond-rebuilding-1999-2000 by Stephen McKay – 26 May 2018](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/80/07/5800780_e459cfe4_120x120.jpg)
