Now surrounded by housing and warehouses though. We haven’t moored there for a while but regularly drive past on the A38. Not sure about the moorings near the water park but those the other side of the bridge (and The Bridge Inn) may well be unrecognisable. 

 

Indeed. The last time we passed was a long time ago now, it was a nice spot back then and the pub was OK too. Nice beer garden.

 

I do recall it being quite tight past the water park itself what with boats moored and pretty dense offside growth though.

The pub is now an Italian restaurant

Branston near Burton. It always confuses someone!

And I was thinking you meant Barnton by Burton. 
 

I popped in there the other week for a nosy around. Never been before. 
Lots of shops, cafe, restaurant and an art gallery plus midland chandlers. 
Was quite a surprise. 
All modern looking wooden buildings.

Shame. I thought the nearby expansion may have helped it.

It used to have an excellent chef who lived on his boat "Poisson dwarf"  which was moored outside the pub ( or just a few yards along) . It was an excellent eating place but sadlly he left to go to a non canal side pub.

No wonder there are so many arguments on here if people think something else to that which is actually written 😂And do you mean Burton, Barton Turns or Mercia Marina?!

Gawd help us 🙄

And a good one at that, we had a very nice meal there last year (and reasonable beer!) on our last night before returning the boat to Aqua at Barton Turns Marina 🙂
