Broadwaters Aqueduct Winding Hole is on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) half a mile from Huntingdon.
The Act of Parliament for the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wigan Canal. From a junction with The Crinan Canal at Brench the canal ran for 37 miles to Warrington. Expectations for stone traffic to Eastleigh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of iron from Nuneaton to Birmingham prevented closure. "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Midlands" by John Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bury Embankment.

![Canal arm, Springfield Park. The Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal forms one of the boundaries of Springfield Park. This very short canal arm enters the park near the Stack Pool (which can be seen behind the arm), and in the past was probably connected to the industrial activities in this area.
