A winding hole was somewhere that boatmen could turn their 70' boats, required because the canals were generally not wide enough to turn them elsewhere. text/html 2005-08-12T20:34:51GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/379 John Lomas 53.703531 -2.637687 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/36853 This mile post appears to have been moved about 50yds from the previous course of the Walton Summit Branch of the Leeds Liverpool Canal, which is now buried under the M61. It has been re-erected at the corner of a pub which may well have been a canal serving pub, even if not directly alongside the canal. It is certainly old enough and does appear to be on the old map that comes up when checking the location. text/html 2005-08-10T16:06:59GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/379 John Lomas 53.743224 -2.395693 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/35868 War Memorial.
