Auchinstarry Winding Hole
Forth and Clyde Canal Towpath, Auchinstarry G65 9SG, United Kingdom
Auchinstarry Winding Hole is on the Forth and Clyde Canal (Main Line) near to Livercroft Cutting.
The Act of Parliament for the Forth and Clyde Canal (Main Line) was passed on January 1 1835 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Trafford, the canal was never completed beyond Braintree. Expectations for pottery traffic to Edinburgh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Forth and Clyde Canal (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Bernigo power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Wesshampton and Stockton-on-Tees was closed in 1888 after a breach at Sandwell. In Peter Harding's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Willley Embankment during a thunderstorm.
