'''Cannock''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|æ|n|ə|k}}) is a town in the [[Cannock Chase District|Cannock Chase]] district in the county of [[Staffordshire]], England. It had a population of 29,018.{{r|KeyFigures}} Cannock is not far from the towns of [[Walsall]], [[Burntwood]], [[Stafford]] and [[Telford]]. The cities of [[Lichfield]] and [[Wolverhampton]] are also nearby.

Cannock lies to the north of the [[West Midlands conurbation]] on the [[M6 motorway|M6]], [[A34 road (Great Britain)|A34]] and [[A5 road (Great Britain)|A5]] roads and to the south of [[Hednesford]] and the [[Cannock Chase]] [[Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty]]. Cannock is served by [[Cannock railway station|a railway station]] on the [[Chase Line]]. The town comprises four district council electoral wards and the Cannock South ward includes the [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]] of [[Bridgtown]], but the rest of Cannock is [[Unparished area|unparished]].

==History==
Cannock was 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 [[Normans|Norman]] pronunciation by the insertion of a vowel to Canoc. The name may refer to Shoal Hill, north-west of the town.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Nicolaisen | first1 = W. F. H. | author-link = W. F. H.

Cannock was a small rural community until mining increased heavily during the mid-to-late 19th century. The area then continued to grow rapidly with many industries coming to the area because of its proximity to the [[Black Country]] and its coal reserves. Cannock's population continued to increase steadily in the 20th century and its slight fall since the 1981 census has been more than compensated for by house-building in the adjoining village of Heath Hayes. The last colliery to close in the town was Mid Cannock in 1967,<ref>{{cite web| title= Coal Mining in Cannock Chase a Rough Time Line |url=http://www.ccmhs.co.uk/General%20Files/Time%20Line.htm |publisher=Cannock Chase Mining Historical Society |access-date=21 November 2011 }}</ref> and the last remaining colliery to close in the Cannock Chase area was Littleton (in [[Huntington, Staffordshire|Huntington]]) in 1993.<ref>{{cite web | title=Cannock Chase Coalfield & its Coal |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/articles/2009/04/21/cannock_chase_coalmine_feature.shtml |work=BBC News|access-date=21 November 2011 }}</ref>

The total population of the [[Urban area|built-up area]] defined in 2011 was 86,121,<ref name="BUA">{{cite web | url=http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/articles/747.aspx|title=2011 Census - Built-up areas| publisher=[[Office for National Statistics|ONS]] | accessdate=2013-08-14}}</ref> making it the second largest in Staffordshire if [[Swadlincote]] in [[Derbyshire]] is excluded from the [[Burton upon Trent]] Built-up Area (BUA). There is some green belt, particularly between the Cannock BUA and the much larger [[West Midlands conurbation|West Midlands BUA]] to the south.  As well as the [[Lichfield]], [[Stafford]], [[East Staffordshire]], and [[South Staffordshire]] Districts.

A house known as The Green, which dated from the 1730s and which was the home of [[Fisher baronets|Sir Robert Fisher, 4th Baronet]], became the headquarters of Cannock Urban District Council in 1927. It was converted into offices in the 1980s, initially for Cannock Chase Technical College but, in 2016, it was refurbished for private use.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/details.aspx?ResourceID=39934&ExhibitionID=39924&SearchType=2&ThemeID=720|title=The Green and garden, Cannock|publisher=Staffordshire Past Track|access-date=14 February 2021}}</ref>

===Rail===
[[Cannock railway station]] closed in 1965 as part of the [[Beeching cuts]] but reopened in 1989. It is part of the [[Chase Line]] operated by [[West Midlands Trains]]. Over the years, usage of this station, and the line overall, have increased to unprecedented levels. Services initially were hourly services between [[Birmingham New Street railway station|Birmingham New Street]] and [[Stafford railway station|Stafford]] (cut back to [[Rugeley Trent Valley railway station|Rugeley Trent Valley]] in 2008). By 2013, usage had become significant enough to warrant the electrification of the railway line, which was completed in 2019.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.expressandstar.com/news/local-hubs/walsall/2019/05/10/first-passenger-service-on-newly-electrified-200m-chase-line/|title=First passenger train travels on newly-electrified Chase Line|date=10 May 2019 |publisher=Express & Star|access-date=1 January 2021}}</ref>

The Chase Line, operated by [[West Midlands Trains]], serves the three railway stations in the conurbation. These are at [[Hednesford railway station|Hednesford]], [[Cannock railway station|Cannock]], and [[Landywood railway station|Landywood]]. There was also a service to [[Stafford]] on the line, but this was cut back to Rugeley due to congestion on the West Coast Main Line.

In May 2019, West Midlands Trains began operating electric trains from this station. The vast majority of services are to Rugeley Trent Valley in the north, southbound trains operate to [[Birmingham International railway station|Birmingham International]] and [[Euston railway station|London Euston]]. The journey time to Birmingham is around 36 minutes. On Sundays, trains operate as far south as [[Coventry railway station|Coventry]].

===Bus===
[[D&G Bus]] operate the majority of bus services around Cannock from a depot at Delta Way under the [[Chaserider]] brand.

[[Arriva Midlands]] were previously the main operator around Cannock but their operations based at their Cannock depot were sold to [[D&G Bus]] during 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.route-one.net/business-deals/dg-bus-revives-chaserider-name-in-arriva-cannock-purchase/|title=D&G Bus revives Chaserider name in Arriva Cannock purchase|date=29 November 2020|publisher=Route One|access-date=1 January 2021}}</ref>

Select Bus Services <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.selectbusservices.com/|title=Home &#124; SELECT BUS SERVICES|website=selectbus}}</ref> also operate a small number of services while [[National Express West Midlands]] service X51 links Cannock with Birmingham via [[Walsall]] and Great Wyrley.

No Chaserider buses operate from Cannock on Sundays or bank holidays, however National Express service X51 does with funding from the McArthurGlen Designer outlet which the bus serves.

Cannock Bus Station also has links to Hednesford, Rugeley, Stafford, Lichfield, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Brownhills in addition to smaller towns and villages like Great Wyrley, Chadsmoor and Norton Canes.
