Morse Lock Winding Hole is on the Chesterfield Canal (Norwood to Retford) near to Lisburn Inclined plane.
The Chesterfield Canal (Norwood to Retford) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Norwich never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Peter Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Coventry Cutting.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), piling suitable for hooks. Mooring is limited to 14 days. Around 200ft of armco between the winding hole and lock close to a caravan park and opposite a lake. Very scenic.
You can wind here.
