About

Burntwood’s Chase Terrace neighbourhood and the village of Hammerwich sit within Lichfield district, combining suburban streets and small-scale rural lanes. Chase Terrace grew up around 19th-century collieries, and that history is visible in rows of former miners’ terraces, interspersed with post-war council estates and modern housing. Local provision includes primary schools, small shopping parades, and community centres; Chase Terrace Academy serves older pupils from across the area. Daily life is shaped by short local journeys rather than long commutes, with bus links and minor roads tying neighbouring estates and farms together.

Green space and industrial heritage sit close to each other here. Chasewater Reservoir lies to the west of Burntwood and is used for sailing and walking; a narrow-gauge heritage railway runs along part of its shore and attracts local volunteers and visitors. Hammerwich keeps a compact village core with a parish church, village hall and a pub, and is crisscrossed by public footpaths that follow old field boundaries. The pattern of former coal workings, reservoir and village lanes gives the area a distinctive, legible layout.
