The Coal Mines of Cannock Chase

Heritage
In our first series for the Cannock Chase Collections, the team has put together a selection of blogs on coal mining in the Cannock Chase district. In conjunction with exhibitions at libraries and Cannock Chase Visitor Centre, we have explored the history of six local mines, touching on the influence of war, technology, and nationalisation, and just how important the industry was.

Displays can be seen at:

Cannock Library
Cannock Chase Visitor centre, Marquis Drive
Heath Hayes Library
Hednesford Library
Rugeley Library
Norton Canes Library
