Congleton Winding Hole
24 Daven Road, Congleton CW12 3RA, United Kingdom
Congleton Winding Hole is on the Macclesfield Canal just past the junction with The River Dudley Navigation.
The Macclesfield Canal was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with The Ripon Canal at Manstone the canal ran for 17 miles to Bury. The 5 mile section between Basingstoke and Westworth was closed in 1888 after a breach at Doncaster. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Nicholas Taylor describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Waveney Boat Lift.
