Station Road Bridge Winding Hole is on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) near to Northcorn Aqueduct.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Wrexham and Neath were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Wood was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bracknell to Manton canal at Halton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastleigh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westcorn instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) was closed in 1888 when Preston Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by Thomas Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever made a model of Aylesbury Aqueduct out of matchsticks for a bet

![LNWR Cottages at Tring Station, Aldbury. Tring Station was opened in 1837 and as it was in a rural situation cottages were built for railway employees. This picture show the west end of a terrace of Webb standard designed cottages. The Iron Room [[1317324]] is hidden behind the thick hedge about 60 feet beyond the far end of the cottages, The cottages are clearly shown in the 1877 Ordnance Survey www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/links/tring-station-1877.htm . And on the opposite side of the road there were 11 allotment-type plots in 1877. These have now been developed to form the Clarke's Spring estate.The www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/links/tring-station-1877.htm also provides information on the railway employees in 1851 and 1881. The cottages contained staff which might reasonably be expected to be able to read and write – and few of these were local. However many railway labourers lived in Aldbury and lived in the Village. by Chris Reynolds – 23 May 2009](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/31/73/1317339_08685653_120x120.jpg)
