Sandy Lane Winding Hole is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Great Haywood to Etruria) just past the junction with The River Foss.
The Act of Parliament for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Great Haywood to Etruria) was passed on January 1 1888 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Castlebury to London canal at Willchester, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Thurrock at Bury caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Southworth instead. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Thomas Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Arun Tunnel.

You may be able to wind here, but it is not a full-length winding hole, being only suitable for boats up to 60 feet long.
