hasetown and Chase Terrace developed much later with the coming of coalmining in the area. The first pit being sunk by the Marquis of Anglesey in 1849.

The village of Chasetown at first known simply as Cannock Chase, developed on either side of an existing road running north across the heath; at first the road was called Rugeley Road, but by 1881 it had become High Street. Colliery Road, renamed Church Street by 1881, gave access to the mine opened at its west end in 1852. Three pairs of cottages were built on the north side of Colliery Road circa 1854, and the adjoining Uxbridge Arms existed by 1856.

By 1867 the village was known as Chasetown. The credit for devising the name is variously given to George Poole, vicar of Burntwood.

By the early 1860’s mining had spread out north from Chasetown, with new mines on the south side of Cannock Road. A new mining village known as Chase Terrace developed in the area north of Cannock Road and west of Rugeley Road. There was a beer retailer at Biddulph’s Pool by 1864. In 1884 the Chase Terrace area had a population of nearly 2,000.

The last mine in the area closed in 1959.
