There's not a lot left of that to see towpath2
Although there are plans - quess I'll never see them come to fruition in my life time - to use part of that line to link up the Hatherton Canal to what is the 'wides' on our canal at FishleyAll our yesterdays.........NOT a Joffie bridge peg

For anyone not au fait with the Lord Hayes Branch, it connected what's locally known as Isaac Walton Pool - now controlled by Hawkins S&SC (used to be Walsall I W when I was a kid) on the A34 just south of Bloxwich to the Wyrley & Essington canal at Fishley (ar rear of the golf course)
You can still follow what was the line of the canal...........
Going east from the wides on the Wyrley & Essington - passed the 'bunkers' on the G C
Then finally crossing the A34 to the pool

Per wiki.........
The Lord Hayes Branch was 0.9 miles (1.5 kilometres)[3] with no locks; this branch was built under the 1794 Act and abandoned under the 1954 Act. It is also referred to as the Lords Hayes or Lord Hay's branch. The branch could be restored, as it has been identified as a suitable route for the restored Hatherton Canal in a feasibility study carried out by Atkins. Previously a route to reconnect the Hatherton Canal to Grove Basin on the Cannock Extension Canal had been favoured, but met with opposition from landowners and on environmental grounds,[5] whereas the Lord Hayes route satisfies the environmental concerns, is preferable to landowners, and would reduce the number of new road bridges needed
