The 1954 British Transport Commission Bill included the abandonment of the Wyrley & Essigton Canal between Lichfield and Huddlesford Junction.

The Lichfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust was formed in 1988.

In 1992 concerns were raised by the Litchfield & Hatherton Canals Trust over the Birmingham Relief Road which threatened to block the restoration of the Hatherton Branch of the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal.

The Litchfield & Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust launched an appeal in 2001 for £200,000 towards the cost of building navigable culverts in the new Birmingham Relief Road (M6 Toll).
