Marsh Lane Winding hole is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line).
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

![Old milepost, new houses. What had been a rural scene [[562884]] has been transformed into a suburban one by the construction of these canalside houses on what had been open fields. The canal milepost is listed grade 2 (list entry 1217681) and shows 1 mile to Nantwich, 38 miles to Autherley Junction. by Stephen Craven – 27 September 2015](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/70/28/4702871_7039bd89_120x120.jpg)

![Canal gate at Marsh Lane bridge. This is not a lock gate, as it has no pair and there is no change in level. I presume it is to act as a stop-gate for draining the section of canal over the Nantwich Aqueduct nearby [[2587872]] and has been located here as the canal narrows under the bridge [[546882]]. by Stephen Craven – 27 September 2015](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/70/28/4702874_a0d57154_120x120.jpg)
