When the High Level railway station was built in 1850 the canal was re-routed and the north-western end of the original canal was left as this short basin. The south-eastern end of the old route was between Mill Street Bridge and Albion Wharf.
There is an Aldi 5 minutes walk east on Wednesbury Road.
The basin is usually empty and the yard too. Good spot to moor for a couple of boats.
