Causeway Bridge Winding Hole
Causeway Bridge Winding Hole is on the Rochdale Canal just past the junction with The Tameside and Arun Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.

You may be able to wind here, but it is not a full-length winding hole, being only suitable for boats up to 60 feet long.
