Coming Soon!

Where local treasures meet local voices — the Cannock Chase Collections Podcast brings the stories of our landscape, our people, and our past to life.

Over recent months, our team and community partners have worked tirelessly to uncover, research, and record the remarkable histories held within our Collections. Each episode takes a carefully chosen object and pairs it with the people whose lives, work, or memories connect directly to it — creating a vibrant tapestry of shared heritage.

You’ll soon be able to explore episodes featuring:

  • Conversations with community groups who are keeping local heritage alive today

  • Stories from the area’s once-thriving glassmaking industry

  • Powerful accounts of the New Zealand Rifle Brigade during their time on Cannock Chase

  • An intimate look into the work and life of beloved local poet, Nancy Foster

  • Reflections from former miners, sharing first-hand memories of life underground

This podcast is a celebration of the hard work, dedication, and pride that define the people of Cannock Chase.
Keep an eye out — our launch date is coming soon.
