Whittington Winding Hole is on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) between Bernigo and Wessworth.
The Act of Parliament for the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) was passed on January 1 1816 the same day as that of The Wigan Canal. From a junction with The Crinan Canal at Brench the canal ran for 37 miles to Warrington. Expectations for stone traffic to Eastleigh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal (Main Line: Stourport to Stourton) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of iron from Nuneaton to Birmingham prevented closure. "By Windlass and Handcuff Key Across The Midlands" by John Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Bury Embankment.

![Canal bridge (detail) near Kinver, Staffordshire. The bridge has its name because it is very narrow, suitable for a horse with packs on both sides, and that is all.[[[2899537]]]From the other side:[[[3538129]]] by Roger D Kidd – 29 May 2015](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/74/24/4742404_079428e8_120x120.jpg)

![Whittington Horse Bridge (No. 28) on the Staffs & Worcs Canal. The bridge is approached by Horse Bridge Lane, which can take vehicular traffic. The bridge, as can be seen, is too narrow, although a horse could certainly pass over it.[[2898355]]. by P L Chadwick – 14 April 2012](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/89/95/2899537_10722ae7_120x120.jpg)
