The Curly Wyrley is only used by very determined boaters. The section between Horseley Fields Junction in Wolverhampton and Sneyd Junction is a home for shopping trolleys and other dumped rubbish. The canal passes through some of the most deprived areas of the city threading behind the 1960s tower blocks.
