Leeds and Liverpool Canal
James Brindley made the plan, but he died in 1772. Work was started on both sides of the Pennines.  This included some impressive engineering like  the Bingley Five Rise Locks, Bingley Three Rise Locks and the seven-arch aqueduct over the River Aire. Work stopped in 1781 because the money ran out.  It started again in in 1791, on a different route from the earlier plan, and the main line of the canal was finished in 1816.  This included the Foulridge Tunnel, which was 1,640 yards (1,500 m) long and was very expensive, and the Burnley Embankment, which is 1,350 yards (1,234 m) long and up to 60 feet (18 m) high.
