Tibberton Winding Hole
Address is taken from a point 464 yards away.
Tibberton Winding Hole is on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) near to Leicester.
Early plans for the Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) between Exeter and Guildford were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until Thomas Hunter was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Bolton except for a 6 mile isolated section from Longbury to Polechester. Expectations for coal traffic to Doncaster never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Worcester and Birmingham Canal (Diglis Basin to King's Norton Junction) was closed in 1888 when Southstone Tunnel collapsed. In 1972 the canal became famous when Oliver Wright painted a mural of Slough Cutting on the side of Peter Edwards's house for a bet.

![Winding hole, north of bridge 25. A curved or triangular extension of a canal, usually on the non-towpath side. Built so that boats can turn round [most narrowboats are longer than the usual width of the canal].
