Hockley Port is a special enclave, accessible by boat from the Soho Loop of the Birmingham Level of the Birmingham Canal Navigations. Originally part of Brindley's contour canal from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, this basin was constructed for the interchange of goods between the canal and railway network. Now it has become a residential mooring, and features a facilities block for water, toilet and washing. Some of the resident boaters are more welcoming to visitors than others.
