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.
Cannock is located close to the M6, M6 toll and M54 motorways. There is an extensive network of local buses radiating out from Cannock town centre. The town's main bus operator is Arriva Midlands, who operate the majority of services to and from Cannock bus station. Cannock railway station closed in 1965 as part of the Beeching Axe. It reopened in 1989 under British Rail and is part of the Rugeley - Cannock - Walsall - Birmingham line operated by London Midland. There are two trains per hour from the station to Rugeley, Walsall, and Birmingham. The journey time to Birmingham is around 45 minutes.

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.

Earls Barton Carnival Parade 2022
After a couple of years waiting, the rain doesn't put the dampener on the return of the Northamptonshire village parade. Smiles all around, especially with the Zion Christian Church Brass Band performing their routine. For various reasons, many UK carnivals are still not taking place during 2022. It was great to see that all the hard work that went into this, despite the weather, made it a great day. Saturday June 18th 2022.
Leek: Cummings Your Way
A lovely English market town? Check. A smart new corduroy jacket? Check. Tenuous comparisons to Belgian townscapes? Of course. Unnecessarily dramatic shots framed against rocky moorland outcrops? Naturally. Cummings, curator of the off-beat, is on the prowl again, on a dark and brooding day in the lovely town of Leek...

The Missing Links Part 2 - Lichfield Canal
In April 2001 Laurence Hogg Productions released a video presented by David Suchet called The Missing Links. The Lichfield & Hatherton Canals are the missing links in the Birmingham Canal Navigations. Laurence passed away in 2018.
In tribute to the early visionary pioneers here is that VHS video presented in two parts.
Part 1 covers the Hatherton Canal and Part 2 picks up the story with the Wyrley & Essington, or Lichfield Canal, as we know it now.
An updated DVD may be still available from some retailers.
