The Leeds & Liverpool canal has had three termini in Liverpool. Originally it ended at Leeds Street, nearer the city centre. When this section was abandoned, Eldonian Basin became the terminus. Since 2009 canal boats have been able to go down the Stanley Locks and through the docks via the Liverpool Canal Link to much more central moorings. Canal guide books show a winding hole at the end of the Eldonian Basin, but this is an error, it is at the junction with the Stanley Locks branch.
