What do you mean to suggest by "industrial revolution starter and all that"? I would not expect emissions at the very beginning of the industrial revolution to hold a candle to peak industrialization. Being the first to industrialize seems entirely irrelevant.

Coal (Steam engine) powered pumping station for public water supply - very beautiful design, not so good for the environment.
