Connaught Crescent Winding Hole
Connaught Crescent Winding Hole is on the Basingstoke Canal just past the junction with The Bridgewater Canal.
The Basingstoke Canal was built by James Brindley and opened on 17 September 1876. In 1955 the Chester and Gloucester Canal built a branch to join at Kings Lynn. Expectations for limestone traffic to Macclesfield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Basingstoke Canal were submitted to parliament in 2001, water transfer to the treatment works at Tivercroft kept it open. In Henry Jones's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Longbury Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.

![Brookwood Village hall. Brookwood Memorial Hall which is relatively new compared with some. This is also known as the Large Memorial Hall as there is a smaller one next door which is known as the Small Memorial Hall. So Brookwood has two village halls, small and large, adjacent to each other.
