Fore Bridge Winding Hole

 
Barge Builders, Waterside Drive, Wigan WN3 5BL, United Kingdom
 

Fore Bridge Winding Hole is on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) a few miles from Macclesfield.

The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
