Cannock is the most populous of the three towns in the district of Cannock Chase in the central southern part of the county of Staffordshire in the West Midlands region of England. Cannock lies to the north of the West Midlands conurbation on the M6, A34 and A5 roads, and to the south of Cannock Chase, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Cannock is served by a railway station on the Chase Line. The town comprises four district council electoral wards and the Cannock South ward includes the civil parish of Bridgtown, but the rest of Cannock is unparished. Cannock forms part of the Cannock Built-up Area which also includes Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley, Hednesford, Huntington, Heath Hayes and Wimblebury.
Cannock is on a south-west facing slope, falling from the highest point on Cannock Chase (244 m) at Castle Ring, to about 148 m in the town centre and 111 m near Wedges Mills. The soil is light with a gravel and clay subsoil, and there are extensive coal measures. Cannock Chase German war cemetery is located nearby containing 4,885 German military dead from the First and Second World Wars. It is managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Cannock is about 20 miles (30 km) by road north-north-west of Birmingham, 80 miles (130 km) south-south-east of Manchester and 130 miles (210 km) north-west of London. Cannock is 9 to 10 miles (14 to 16 km) by road from many of the nearest towns and cities (Aldridge, Lichfield, Stafford, Walsall, Willenhall and Wolverhampton), but Hednesford (2 miles (3 km)), Burntwood and Penkridge (5 miles (8 km)), Bloxwich and Brownhills (6 miles (10 km)) and Rugeley (7 miles (11 km)) are nearer.

A canal trip through Birmingham
We are on the second leg of our circumnavigation of the 'Black Country Ring'. It takes on a cruise via several canals. We have left Fazely and now on the Birmingham and Fazely canal. The crew are very busy as we negotiate the 'Aston Flight' of locks. We take a slightly spooky trip under the BT Tower and after emerging and tacking a couple of more locks, come to a halt. The canal water level is too low for us to proceed and it appears to be because of dumped rubbish. Are we going to have to end our trip? @montymagic5886
Black Country Canal Walks - Heath Town To Wolverhampton City Centre
The Wyrley and Essington Canal, known locally as the Curly Wyrley, is a canal in the English Midlands. As built it ran from Wolverhampton to Huddlesford Junction near Lichfield, with a number of branches: some parts are currently derelict. Pending planned restoration to Huddlesford, the navigable mainline now terminates at Ogley Junction near Brownhills. In 2008 it was designated a Local Nature Reserve.
The canal was built to allow transport of coal from coal mines near Wyrley, Essington and New Invention to Wolverhampton and Walsall, but also carried limestone and other goods. An Act of Parliament received the Royal Assent on 30 April 1792, entitled An Act for making and maintaining a navigable Canal from, or from near, Wyrley Bank, in the county of Stafford, to communicate with the Birmingham and Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, at or near the town of Wolverhampton, in the said county; and also certain collateral Cuts therein described from the said intended Canal.
As the act's name suggests, this authorised the construction of the canal from the BCN Main Line of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (which would not be known as such until 1794) near Wolverhampton to Wyrley Bank, and the raising of up to £45,000 to pay for construction. William Pitt was appointed engineer.

Chesham Carnival Buckinghamshire 11th June 2022
After two years of Covid, 2022 saw the return of the Chesham Carnival on Saturday 11th June. Setting off from Asheridge Road it made its way along Bellingdon Road towards the town centre, where large crowds were waiting. Most of my photos were taken close to the start, in Bellingdon Road.

B&F Canal - Fazeley to Curdworth (time lapse)
One of our more sedate time lapses south down the Birmingham Canal Navigations (Birmingham and Fazeley Canal - Main Line) from the Fazeley Visitor Moorings to Curdworth Bottom Lock No 38.
Just under three miles and about an hours cruise so just about times six on the speed up scale.
Warning beeps to Canaltimers emerging from their marina and barking dogs at what looked like nice offside moorings after the Drayton Bridges.
Does anyone know why Canaltime don't have front doors?
While we're at it why is it some other bugger is always in the bridge hole just as you approach it? Innit?
