About Cannock - show infohide info

Cannock is a town in Staffordshire, England, just north of the West Midlands conurbation. It sits to the south of Cannock Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is administered as part of Cannock Chase district, which has a total population of about 90,000. Cannock lies on the A34 and A5 roads, to the north of the Black Country (about 7 miles) and south of Stafford (about 8 miles). It is served by a railway station on the Chase Line. Its nearest towns and villages include Hednesford, Rugeley, Great Wyrley, and Burntwood. Its name comes from the Old English cnocc, meaning small hill. It is first recorded in the unlikely form Chenet in the Domesday Book, probably due to the information being written down by a Norman scribe with less than perfect knowledge of English. The town was very small until coal mining increased heavily during the mid to late 19th Century. The area then continued to grow rapidly with many industries coming to the area because of its proximity to the Black Country and because of its coal reserves. After the Second World War the town's population again increased and has kept on increasing ever since as many new residential developments are built as commuting areas for Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Walsall and Stafford. Cannock is mainly an ethnically white conurbation, in comparison to her West Midlands neighbours. In recent years it has become far more affluent and seen a population and housing increase. In keeping with the national trend, Cannock's housing is increasingly of a post-fordist era style, although various other periods of architecture are sited around the town. A romantic description of Cannock could be, "a leafy countryside suburb of the more cosmopolitan West Midlands". This would be due to its proximity and fairly decent transport links to the larger towns and cities surrounding it. The United Kingdom's second largest populated city, Birmingham, can be commuted to by train in around 45 minutes. Also in the region are the towns of Stafford, Wolverhampton, Lichfield, Tamworth and Walsall
