Anderton Winding Hole
Anderton Visitor Centre, Old Road, Anderton CW9 6FB, United Kingdom
Anderton Winding Hole is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) near to Tendring.
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1816 but problems with Polehampton Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Bradford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Longfield power station was enough to keep it open. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Middlewich to Preston Brook) was closed in 1955 when Northampton Embankment collapsed. In Arthur Taylor's "By Mooring Pin and Lump Hammer Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Southampton Inclined plane during the General Strike.
