A slightly closer view than Image Just beyond the sign on the right is a turning place or winding hole in canal parlance. When coming from the east, passing the junction and turning here makes entering the arm easier. This winding hole is a fragment of the pre 1820s alignment of the canal which turned north at this point and contoured round the valley crossed by the aqueduct shown in Image The old alignment just north of the present course is now covered by an industrial estate.
