Summary edit

Description
English: Stafford Common. Looking across the Common from the Stone Road side.

The Commons Registration Act 1965 defines common land as ‘land subject to rights of common (as defined in the Act) whether those rights are exercisable at all times or only during limited periods’, and ‘waste land of a manor not subject to rights of common’. Common land generally has open access rights for the public.

Stafford Common extends to 62 ha.(approx 150ac.) and is regularly used for horse shows and car boot sales, hosts cross country running races and is well walked by local residents. It is also used for grazing cattle and horses.

The trees to the right, along the southern edge of the Common, follow the line of the old Stafford to Uttoxeter branch railway. There was a small station, called Stafford Common, near the white buildings on the horizon where the track also sent out a spur to serve the nearby saltworks.
