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:
“As for work, without it, without painstaking work, any writer or artist definitely remains a dilettante; there’s no point in waiting for so-called blissful moments, for inspiration; if it comes, so much the better—but you keep working anyway.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
“The longer a woman remains single, the more apprehensive she will be of entering into the state of wedlock. At seventeen or eighteen, a girl will plunge into it, sometimes without either fear or wit; at twenty, she will begin to think; at twenty-four, will weigh and discriminate; at twenty-eight, will be afraid of venturing; at thirty, will turn about, and look down the hill she has ascended, and sometimes rejoice, sometimes repent, that she has gained that summit sola.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“The best thing about the sciences is their philosophical ingredient, like life for an organic body. If one dephilosophizes the sciences, what remains left? Earth, air, and water.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
