Canals have been around in Britain since the romans dug Fossdyke. Early ways of getting up and down slopes were called flash locks, and sometimes solid raised gates. The mitre lock was first used on the Lee Navigation NE on London, who invented it??

Leonardo de Vinci had 'miter gates' - saw these in the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e Della Tecnologia Leonardo Da Vinci on Via San Vittore, Milan, last year.
Slightly different spelling from what's in the question, though...
