Snakeholme Lock Narrows
Snakeholme Pastures, B1249, Wansford YO25 8JP, United Kingdom
Snakeholme Lock Narrows carries a footpath over the Driffield Navigation (Main waterway) half a mile from Stockport.
Early plans for the Driffield Navigation (Main waterway) between Windsor and Ipswich were proposed by Exuperius Picking Junior but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Aberdeenshire. Expectations for pottery traffic to Willcroft never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Oliver Harding painted a mural of Port Talbot Cutting on the side of Henry Smith's house to encourage restoration of Sheffield Tunnel.
