About

Burntwood and Chasetown sit in the Lichfield district of Staffordshire and grew up around coal mining in the 19th and 20th centuries. Rows of terraced housing and former miners' cottages sit alongside later suburban developments. The local high street and parade of shops provide everyday services, and community hubs — schools, a community centre and sports clubs — shape daily life. Evidence of the industrial past appears in street names and pockets of reclaimed land where pit heads once stood, now used for local allotments and small green spaces.

Green space defines much of the area’s edge. Chasewater, a reservoir formed from a former mining reservoir, lies to the west and is managed as a country park; a narrow-gauge heritage railway runs along part of the shoreline and offers seasonal steam services. There are walking routes that link the reservoir with woodland and heathland on the fringe of the town, used by dog walkers and cyclists. Local events and volunteer groups use these open areas for conservation work and community gatherings.
