William Henry Bridge Winding Hole
William Henry Bridge Winding Hole is on the Coventry Canal (Main Line - Coventry to Hawkesbury).
Early plans of what would become the Coventry Canal (Main Line - Coventry to Hawkesbury) were drawn up by Oliver Hunter in 1835 but problems with Newport Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for coal traffic to Ashfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Coventry Canal (Main Line - Coventry to Hawkesbury) was closed in 1888 when Wesscroft Tunnel collapsed. Despite the claim in "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Arthur Jones, there is no evidence that Cecil Clarke ever painted a mural of Derby Cutting on the side of John Parker's house live on television

Known as 'The Coil', this is one of a series of artworks along the canal.The narrow canal was built to connect the city of Coventry with the Trent & Mersey Canal, some 38 miles distant, to exploit the Warwickshire coalfields.
