Yes, Moma P. It's an excellent site which does a vast amount very well. If you click the first item on the bar at the top, "CANAL GUIDES AND MAPS", you come to a section covering (I guess) all the remaining waterways in the country. A window on the left gives you a range of canals, and you can click "BIRMINGHAM CANAL NAV" which gives a good, brief summary on each canal, with links to the "BIRMINGHAM & FAZELEY" and "GRAND UNION".
You can also click the fourth item on the top bar, CANAL HERITAGE, which is easy to follow on a brief history, with some nice pics.
But if you want dry hardcore history, try the superb Victoria County History site, which I think is the ultimate in scholarship:
