The Ashby Canal near Stoke Golding, Leicestershire
There is visitor mooring here for about four or five narrowboats. Failing this, crews wishing to use the village pubs can moor on the left and use the footpath across Foster's Bridge (No 27) and fields to the lane.

Moorings near Stoke Golding, Leicestershire
Visitor moorings are on the bend just ahead where Stoke Lane passes by the canal on the right. The canal is a very popular one for boaters because (at present) it has twenty-two miles with no locks to negotiate, and is mainly through rural and attractive countryside. It was opened in 1804, but never reached its intended destination of Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

Stoke Golding: The White Swan
One of Stoke Golding's three pubs, The White Swan on the High Street seems to have had several variations on the name through the years. Old Ordnance Survey maps show it progressively as:-
1888: Swan
1903: Old Swan
1928: Old Swan
1962: The Swan Inn
1975: White Swan
1983: White Swan
Today it is The White Swan and an Everard's outlet.
Satellite imagery showing the roof layout suggests that this end is a more recent extension of the original building.
