The Kingsbury pool was large by municipal standards, and it was situated on the edge of Roe Green Park.
It is a fascinating 18th-century industrial settlement built on a ‘green field’ site at a point where ample water power was available.
Now a suburb of Wellington, the village was once known as Rowe Green, but often dubbed 'Rogue Green' because of the unruly behaviour of some of its inhabitants.
Cannock does, however, possess one of the finest bowling greens in the country, which has been in use for nearly two hundred years.
Sunnyside remains intact today (as does the water pump on the green), but the garages have been supplanted by a new road - Coachman`s Mead - and, to the right, a new house.
The broad verges and continuous avenue of trees bring green, open space to the High Street and make it an attractive place to explore.

Situated by the side of the main road through Alford, the church of St Wilfrid is built mainly of Lincolnshire green stone, which does not wear too well.
