History
Chase Terrace was founded in the 1860s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution and multiple coal mines operating in the Cannock Chase area. The village was established as a coal mining village.[3]
However, following closure of the coal mines and the decline in industry, Chase Terrace became a residential area for the town of Burntwood alongside the neighbouring areas of Boney Hay, Burntwood Green, Chasetown, Hammerwich and Sankeys Corner.[4]
Today, it forms the core part of the town centre and one of the four former mining villages of Burntwood which are Boney Hay, Burntwood, Chase Terrace and Chasetown.[5]
