Hertford Union Top Lock Winding Hole 
Hertford Lock House, Old Ford, Hampstead Walk, London E3 2JW, United Kingdom
Hertford Union Top Lock Winding Hole is on the Grand Union Canal (Hertford Union Canal) just past the junction with The Middle Level Navigations.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Hertford Union Canal) was passed on January 1 1888 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1888 the Rochdale and Fife Canal built a branch to join at Swansea. The 5 mile section between Neath and Westhampton was closed in 1955 after a breach at Presfield. Despite the claim in "By Lump Hammer and Handcuff Key Across The Country" by Nicholas Thomas, there is no evidence that Thomas Parker ever painted a mural of Warrington Inclined plane on the side of Charles Wright's house live on television

GreggsI just [i.e. with both fenders rubbing the canal side] managed to
wind a full-size [71ft] nb just above the lock where there is a small
widening - kept stern to towpath side. I did wonder if it would go
around in all honesty - but didn't even need to remove a fender!
