Gnosall Visitor Moorings (south)
Gnosall Visitor Moorings (south) is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line).
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

![Shropshire Union Canal at Gnosall Heath, Staffordshire. Taken from under Boat Inn Bridge. On the left just out of sight is 1990s housing with its own private moorings. Ahead is Cowley tunnel, 81 yards (74 metres) in length. It was supposed to be almost 700 yards long (about 640 metres), but dangerous rock faults made it unsafe, and a deep cutting through the rock had to be made instead.Here is the same canal from on top of the bridge: in June 2006 [[[187788]]]. by Roger D Kidd – 25 May 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/33/40/1334001_b9e46b03_120x120.jpg)
