nl binnenwaterwegen van Groot-Britannië   De constructie and commerciële gebruik van kanalen in Groot-Britannië zijn onoplosbaar verbonden met de opkomende industrie in de 2e helft van de 18e eeuw. Hoewel de bouw van kanalen al uit de tijd van de Romeinen is overgeleverd (bv. de Fossdyke tussen de rivieren Trent en Witham) zijn deze over de eeuwen heen allang vervallen. Doorgaand verkeer op rivieren werd tegengehouden door dammen van molens en de visserij..
De moderne bouw van waterwegen op grote schaal begon pas met de inrichting van het rd. 13 km lange St. Helenskanaal, een lateraalkanaal van de Sankey Brook, geopend 1757, gevolgd door het Bridgewaterkanaal 1761. Deze liep over 17 km van de kolenmijnen van Worsley tot in de stad van Manchester en had ten gevolge dat zich de prijs van kolen in Manchester halveerde. De komende decennia was dan ook gekenmerkd door de zogenoemde Canal Mania. Zij leidde tot een dicht netwerk van kanalen en gekanaliseerde rivieren die schots en scheef de hele Midlands doorkruisden, van de Oost- naar de Westkust en van Lancashire en Yorkshire in het noorden tot aan de Theems in het zuiden. Met behulp van onder meer ontelbare sluizen, aquaducten en tunnels werden op die manier de grote riviermondingen, industriële regio's, commerciële centra en zeehavens met elkaar verbonden.
In tegenstelling tot het Europese vasteland waren de Britse kanalen meestal particuliere ondernemingen. Daardoor daalde het interesse aan de kanalen duidelijk met de opkomst van de spoorwegen in 1830.
Begin 20e eeuw ervoeren de kanalen door de motorisering van het wegverkeer een tweede klap en nog meer kanalen werden gesloten. Na de 2e wereldoorlog werden de spoorwegmaatschappijen genationaliseerd. Inzoverre deze eigenaren van kanalen waren, werden de waterwegen evenzo eigendom van de staat, beheerd door de British Transport Commission tot de oprichting van British Waterways in 1962. Terwijl in deze tijd al afgezien van enkele uitzonderingen geen toekomst zat in het vervoer van goederen over water, groeide het interesse in de pleziervaart en het bewustzijn voor de kanalen als waardevol cultureel erfgoed. Op de inventarisatie van kanalen - waarvan sommige allang waren dichtgegooid - volgde, afhankelijk van hun toestand, de modernisering, reparatie of herbouwing van vakken en kunstwerken. Stichtingen, die werden opgezet voor de reconstructie van kanalen, traden in zekere zin in de voetstappen van de oospronkelijke maatschappijen. Aan het begin van het nieuwe millenium was een behoorlijk gedeelte van het netwerk weer óf gereed óf in overleg voor reconstructie.
Desalniettemin vertegenwoordigd het Britse kanaalsysteem vergeleken met het vasteland een soort Madurodam van een verleden tijd op het water. Van wege de beperkingen mbt. de afmetingen van de sluiskommen, de ondiepe vaargeulen, en de hoge ratio van sluizen per afstand enz. staat een economisch winstgevende binnenscheepvaart buiten kijf, terwijl de pittoreske kanalen zien vanuit de smalle boten de laatste jaren een behoorlijke en toenemende toeristenwaarde hebben gekregen.
2012 leidden kortingen in het budget van British Waterways tot de oprichting van de Canal & River Trust, een organisatie van algemeen nut die zindsdien zowel het beheer van de waterwegen in handen heeft als ook als dakorganisatie voor de talloze particuliere en locale organisaties werkt die zich voor het behoud van de waterwegen in Britannieë inzetten.

de Binnenwasserstraßen von Großbritannien
Der Bau und die industrielle Nutzung der Binnenwasserstraßen auf der Insel sind eng mit der Industriellen Revolution in England verbunden. Zwar verzeichnet man erste künstliche Wasserwege schon zur Römerzeit (Fossdyke zwischen Trent und und Witham); diese sind indes dem Verfall preisgegeben, während der durchgehende Verkehr auf den Flüssen häufig durch Mühl- und Fischwehre behindert wird. Der moderne Kanalbau setzt Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts mit der Einrichtung des 13 Kilometer langen St.-Helens-Kanal ein. Der 1757 eröffnete Seitenkanal des Sankey Brook, einem Zufluß des Mersey, teilt sich die Ehre mit dem Bridgewater-Kanal. Der künstliche Wasserweg wurde 1761 fertiggestellt, um Kohlen von Worsley in die 17 km entfernte Stadt Manchester zu transportieren, deren Preis daraufhin um die Hälfte sank. In den folgenden Jahren nahm die sog. Canal Mania an Fahrt auf. Sie führte zur Errichtung eines dichten Netzes von Kanälen und kanalisierten Flüssen, die oft mit Hilfe langer Schleusentreppen, Tunneln und Aquädukten durch die hügelige Landschaft gelegt wurden. Es reichte von Küste zu Küste, verband die Industrieregionen und großen Zentren von Mittelengland miteinander und erstreckte sich von Lancashire und Yorkshire im Norden bis an die Themse im Süden. Im Unterschied zur Situation auf dem Festland verdankten sich die meisten Kanäle privater Investitionen. Infolgedessen schwand das Interesse am Kanalbau mit dem Aufkommen der Eisenbahn Mitte der 1830er Jahre. In den kommenden Jahrzehnten kam die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Wasserstraßen stark unter Druck, der durch die Motorisierung des Straßenverkehrs im 20. Jahrhundert noch einmal zunahm, so daß ein Kanal nach dem andern seinen Betrieb einstellte. Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg führte die Verstaatlichung der Eisenbahngesellschaften, die sich im Besitz der Kanäle befanden, ebenfalls zu deren Überführung in Staatseigentum unter der Verwaltung der British Transport Commission. 1962 entstand als selbständige Körperschaft British Waterways. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war an einer Wiederbelebung der kommerziellen Binnenschiffahrt nicht mehr zu denken. Dafür wuchs das Interesse an der Freizeitschiffahrt. Diese und das Bewußtsein für die Kanäle als wertvolle Zeugnisse der Industriekultur hatte neben einer Bestandsaufnahme der Kanäle und Einrichtungen die Gründung zahlreicher Vereinigungen zur Folge, die sich für die Unterhaltung bzw. Wiederherstellung der Kanäle stark machten. Auf diese Weise konnte seit den 1980er Jahren ein beträchtlicher Teil in den betriebsfähigen Zustand versetzt werden. Im Grunde befindet sich das englische Kanalnetz, sieht man von einigen unvermeidlichen technischen Modernisierungen ab, auf dem Stand des 19. Jahrhunderts. Darin unterscheidet es sich von den Netzen auf dem Kontinent. Kommerzielle Schiffahrt findet lediglich im Bereich der großen Flußmündungen statt. 2012 wurde als Folge staatlicher Kürzungen British Waterways in den gemeinnützungen Canal & River Trust überführt, dem seither die treuhänderische Verwaltung der englischen und walisischen Kanäle unterliegt.  
en waterways of Great Britain The construction and commercial use of canals in Britain are densely intertwined with its emerging industry in the second half of the 18th century. Although canal construction goes back to Roman times (such as the Fossdyke between the Rivers Trent and Witham) these were prone to dilapidation in the following centuries. Continuous traffic on natural watercourses on the other hand was hampered by weirs of mills or for fishing.
Modern waterway construction on a large scale sets in with the building of the 8-mile long St. Helens Canal, a lateral canal to the Sankey Brook opened in 1757. It was followed by the Bridgewater Canal opened four years later to convey coal from the mines in Worsley to the city of Manchester, whereupon the price of coal fell by half. In the following years a Canal Mania broke loose. It led to a dense network of canals and canalized rivers criss-crossing the Midlands by means of flights of locks, tunnels and acqueducts. In its heighdays the network stretched from coast to coast and from Lancashire and Yorkshire in the North to the River Thames in the South, thus linking industrial regions, commercial centres and seaports. Contrary to mainland Europe British canals were usually private undertakings. Consequently interest waned with the rise of the railway in the 1830es. The profitability of canals, now owned by railway companies, declined even more with the mechanization of road transport in the early 20th century and many more canals were closed. After WWII, in the wake of nationalization of the railway, canals also became state property managed by the British Transport Commission until 1962, when British Waterways took over the waterways. At this point in history with a few exception commercial use of canals was without future. However, in the following decennia interest in pleasure boating grew as well as a conscience for a valuable industrial heritage. Surveys of canals - some of which had long been filled up - were undertaken, existing installations such as locks were modernized, repaired or reconstructed and put in working order. Heritage societies were set up their aim being the reconstruction of canals thus following in the footsteps of the founding companies. Around the millenium a considerable part of the network was made either operational again or considered for reconstruction.
Yet compared with their continental counterpart British waterways are rather representing a historical stage of waterway toyland. Due to limitations such as sizes of locks, shallow trenches and a high locks per mile ratio, just to name a few, modern commercial water transport is not any more feasible while scenic canals seen from narrow boats enjoy an increasing tourist factor. In 2012 severe cuts in budgets led to the transfer of British Waterways into the Canal & River Trust as a charitable organisation for the waterways and all the local and private initiatives committing themselves to their preservation.
