From the Wikipedia article

The Wardle Canal is the shortest canal in the UK, at 154 feet (47 m). The canal, in Middlewich, Cheshire, connects the Trent and Mersey Canal to the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal, terminating with a single lock known as Wardle Lock. It was built in 1829 so that the navigation authority of the Trent and Mersey Canal could maintain control over the junction by charging tolls for boats wanting to travel between the junction and the Shropshire Union Canal.
