Grimshaws Bridge Winding Hole

 
Wood Lane East, Wood Lanes SK10 4PH, United Kingdom
 

Grimshaws Bridge Winding Hole is on the Macclesfield Canal a few kilometres from Leicester.

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.
