About Common Side

Common Side, a quiet corner of Staffordshire, breathes with the gentle hum of the West Midlands. It lies 2.8 km north-west of Brownhills (from Brownhills: bearing 310°T, OS grid SK 026 071), and is situated south of Norton Canes village. The landscape here, part of the wider Cannock Chase district, offers a subtle beauty, where the light often falls with a soft, diffused quality, hinting at the ancient woodlands that once dominated this terrain. Though no grand abbeys or imposing castles mark its immediate vicinity, Common Side possesses a grounded character, a place where the past is felt in the very texture of the earth beneath one's feet. Its economy, like that of many hamlets in this region, has been shaped by the ebb and flow of industry, leaving behind a quiet resilience. The air, especially after a rain, carries a clean scent, a reminder of the green spaces that still hold sway here.
