Railway Bridge No 7D Winding Hole

 
10 miles to Bull's Bridge
Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) towpath, London NW10 6QE, United Kingdom
 

Railway Bridge No 7D Winding Hole is on the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) near to Neath Embankment.

The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Birmingham, the canal was never completed beyond Longcester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was closed in 1955 when Oldley Cutting collapsed. According to Henry Smith's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Teignbridge Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Navigational Notes

The hole is near the #6 rail and road bridges.

I don't think anyone has winded here for decades - it is full of mud almost out to the centre of the cut from the north side, so much so I nearly got completely stuck trying to wind a 72ft Northwich with the bow in the bushes. Not recommended for anything long with a deep draught.
