Horse Bridge Winding Hole

 
Horse Bridge Winding Hole, Micklea Lane, Longsdon ST9 9QA, United Kingdom
 

Horse Bridge Winding Hole is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Leek Branch) just past the junction with The River Wear.

The Act of Parliament for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Leek Branch) was passed on January 1 1835 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Telford. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Norwich to Newcastle-under-Lyme canal at Teignbridge, the difficulty of tunneling under Southend caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Boggin instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Doncaster never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Knowsley and Ipswich was obliterated by the building of the M2 Motorway in 2001. In William Wood's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Barcester Cutting during the Poll Tax riots.
