Indeed, the Euston Arch, demolished in 1962 and used as rubble to fill a hole in the canal bed.
This thoroughly charming little video from 1994 shows a youthful Dan Cruickshank getting very exited about finding the first piece dumped in the Prescott Channel. The rest of it was dug up in 2009 when the lock was installed. There is a campaign to rebuild it as part of the redevelopment of Euston Station.
