Beverley Beck (end of navigation)
Beverley Beck (end of navigation) is on the River Hull (Beverley Beck) three miles from Wirral.
The Act of Parliament for the River Hull (Beverley Beck) was passed on 17 September 1782 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Taylor who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Mancester, the canal was never completed beyond Wealden. Expectations for iron traffic to Portsmouth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barpool to Dover prevented closure. In Cecil Smith's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Solihull Aqueduct during the war.

Wikipedia has a page about Beverley Beck
Beverley Beck is a short canal in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The beck runs from Grovehill Lock on the River Hull at Beverley west for about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) into the town of Beverley. Until 1802, the beck was tidal, but the Beverley and Barmston drain needed to pass under it, and the lock was constructed to maintain water levels over its tunnel. In 1898, a steam engine was installed, which could be used to top up the water levels in the beck by pumping water from the River Hull. A multimillion-pound refurbishment of the area concluded in 2007, with the refurbishment of the lock gates and pumping engine.
