History Cannock
Cannock was called Chenet in the Domesday Book of 1086. It was called
Chnoc c.1130, Cnot in 1156, Canot in 1157, and Canoc in 1198. Cannock
is probably Old English cnocc meaning 'hillock', modified by Norman
pronunciation by the insertion of a vowel to Canoc. The name may refer
to Shoal Hill, north-west of the town.[loft cost cannock]
The town was small until coal mining increased heavily during the mid
to late nineteenth century[citation needed] The area then continued to
grow rapidly with many industries coming to the area because of its
proximity to the Black Country and because of its coal reserves. After
the Second World War the town's population again increased and has kept
on increasing ever since[citation needed] as many new residential
developments are built as commuting areas for Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, Walsall and Stafford.
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 the largest of 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.
