What year did duke of bridgewater invent the first canal in London?
He didn't. The Duke of Bridgewater had a canal built from his coal mines in Worsley to the centre of Manchester. This is not in London. The first part of his canal opened in 1763. He didn't invent canals, though. The Sankey Canal near Warrington had already opened a few years earlier. The Duke went to look at the Canal du Midi in France and the Newry Canal in Ireland, which were older. The Exeter Ship Canal had opened back in 1566 and a number of canals were built in England by the Romans, including the Foss Dyke,which is still in use, between Lincoln and the River Trent.
