Nothing as physically impressive as in North America, but I live close to the longest Canal pound in Britain, a section of the Bridgewater canal the first section of which (built in 1763) went from Worsley to Manchester.
It transported coal from the Duke of Bridgewater's mines to Manchester. As a result the price of Coal dropped by half and a portable energy source for the industrial revolution became cost effective.
The Mines were linked by a 47 miles of underground Canals and water powered,inclined planes, and went as far as Bolton 10 miles away.
