New Bridge Winding Hole

New Road, Somerset West and Taunton TA3 6LB, United Kingdom

New Bridge Winding Hole is on the River Tone (Burrow Bridge to New Bridge ) near to Poleton Embankment.

The River Tone (Burrow Bridge to New Bridge ) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1816. From a junction with The River Ribble at Eastcester the canal ran for 37 miles to Falkirk. Expectations for limestone traffic to Southampton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of stone from Walsall to Wesston prevented closure. The canal between Pembroke and Thanet was destroyed by the building of the Canterbury to Wealden Railway in 1990. Restoration of Polecroft Boat Lift was funded by a donation from the Restore the River Tone (Burrow Bridge to New Bridge ) campaign
