If you turn right, there are moorings in the Staffordshire Arm which is outside the Youth Hostel Association building. AS you are under both the railway and tramway bridges, it can be quite noisy with trains/trams If you turn left, there are good moorings which stretch for around 200 yards. These are quiet, can get busy but you can take the boat to the end to have a look as there is a place to wind at the end Both locations are within easy walking distance of the city centre John http://www.boatmail.co.uk - the boaters mail forwarding company http://www.canalandriversidepubs.co.uk - all the waterway pubs > > > > > >
