The Hazlestrine Arm of the Staffs & Worcs Canal was built to serve a brickworks that first opened in the mid-19th century. The brickworks was no longer operational after the Second World War but the site continued to be used as a tip - it is not therefore clear when the last working boat used the arm. It has however been restored and is now used by the Stafford Boat Club for moorings. See Image taken in 2015; some of the same boats can be seen.
