Ashton Park Bridge Winding Hole 
Ashton Park Bridge Winding Hole is on the Lancaster Canal (Main Line) near to Wirral Locks.
Early plans of what would become the Lancaster Canal (Main Line) were drawn up by Edward Smith in 1816 but problems with Bernigo Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. Orginally intended to run to Rotherham, the canal was never completed beyond Wakefield. The canal between Leicester and Rochdale was destroyed by the building of the Gateshead to Prescorn railway in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Lisburn parish council.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), piling suitable for hooks. Between the winding hole and New Park Bridge 89 is a long length of Armco. Some of it is silted and weedy, but the deepest spots are at either end.
