Winding Hole below Bulls Lock
Bulls Lock, Hambridge Lane, Greenham RG14 5RY, United Kingdom
Winding Hole below Bulls Lock is on the River Kennet near to Wokingham.
Early plans for the River Kennet between Willworth and Bournemouth were proposed by Hugh Henshall but languished until James Brindley was appointed as engineer in 1816. In 1955 the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Polestone Canal built a branch to join at Bury. Expectations for pottery traffic to Polstan never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between St Helens and Portsmouth was lost by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the River Kennet Society.
