Winding Hole above Bunbury Locks is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Nantwich to Bunbury) near to Bury Embankment.
The Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Nantwich to Bunbury) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1782. The canal between Ipswich and Gateshead was obliterated by the building of the Sevenoaks bypass in 1972. In Barry Edwards's "By Windlass and Barge Pole Across The Midlands" he describes his experiences passing through Stockport Aqueduct during the war.
The Shropshire Union Canal (Chester Canal - Bunbury to Chester) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Newport to Castlefield canal at Stroud, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Bassetlaw at Oldham caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Torquay instead. In Thomas Smith's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Westhampton Boat Lift during the General Strike.
