Chasetown

Chasetown is an area in the town of Burntwood, and is split between the civil parishes of Burntwood and Hammerwich in Staffordshire, England.

Chasetown began as a coal mining village in the mid-18th century, at first known simply as Cannock Chase. By 1867 the village was known as Chasetown.There is today little evidence of the mining industry left in the area other than Chasewater reservoir which provided water for the canals that were used to transport coal to Birmingham and the Black Country, and Chasewater Light Railway which has been restored for leisure use. St Annes Church was the first church in England to have electric lights. Population is said to be around 9,000.
