Remains
Today the western seven locks and canal have been filled in and are used as a public path and open space. The eastern two locks have been restored, filled in and culverted, with the canal remaining as a reed-filled stream as far as Moorcroft Junction. The Birmingham Canal Navigations Society have suggested the route as one which could possibly be restored, since the only structure which obstructs such a plan is a bridge at the end of the navigable section of the Wednesbury Oak Branch, and it would open up some additional circular cruising routes.

Famous quotes containing the word remains:
“How little remains of the man I once was, save the memory of him! But remembering is only a new form of suffering.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysands to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Man you can define; but the true essence of any man, say, for instance, of Abraham Lincoln, remains the endlessly elusive and mysterious object of the biographer’s interest, of the historian’s comments, of popular legend, and of patriotic devotion.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
