Blackfords Staffordshire Map

About Blackfords

Blackfords, a quiet corner of Staffordshire, unfolds with a gentle grace. It lies 1.2 km north-east of Cannock (from Cannock: bearing 42°T, OS grid SJ 986 111). The landscape here, a subtle swell of earth, often catches the low sun in a way that lends a particular, soft luminescence to the brickwork of its homes and the distant green of the Chase. Though its roots are agricultural, Blackfords now breathes a more modern air, its lanes echoing with the quiet hum of suburban life, a gentle counterpoint to the wilder heart of the nearby national park. The air itself seems to carry a faint memory of the coal seams that once pulsed beneath this land, a whisper of industry now softened by time and the persistent growth of hedgerows.
