[2] Cannock Chase Collieries No.2 and No.9 opened in the 1850s to the west of the village where the Rugby club is sited today.

Three pairs of cottages were built on the north side of Church Street in 1854, and the adjoining Uxbridge Arms existed by 1856.

By 1860 two shopkeepers, three beer retailers, The Miners'Rest and The Junction a builder, a drill owner, a shoemaker, and a market gardener were listed at the village of Cannock Chase.

[3] The last mine closed in 1959 but the village continued expanding as it became an overspill area for people from the Black Country.

The rural green spaces between Burntwood and Chasetown were developed by the early 1970s which effectively joined the two villages.
