Burntwood — Where Samuel Johnson's Teaching Career Began (and Ended)
Before he became one of the most famous names in English literature, Samuel Johnson tried his hand at running a school. In 1735, he opened an academy at Edial Hall — now part of Burntwood — with his wife Elizabeth, teaching a handful of pupils including a young David Garrick, who went on to become one of the 18th century's most celebrated actors. The school failed within about eighteen months, and by 1737 Johnson had abandoned teaching for London, where he found rather more lasting success.
Burntwood itself is a relatively modern town, formed through the 20th-century amalgamation of several former mining settlements — Chasetown, Chase Terrace, Boney Hay and others — and is home to Prince's Park, documented as the smallest park in the UK. Ben covers the whole spread, with the same no-call-out-fee pricing used across Staffordshire.

Covering All of Burntwood — Chasetown to Edial
Modern Burntwood is genuinely a patchwork of former mining settlements brought together over the 20th century — Chasetown, Chase Terrace, Boney Hay, Gorstey Lea and others, each with its own local character, now forming one of the larger urbanised parishes in England. Edial, the hamlet where Samuel Johnson briefly ran his school at Edial Hall, remains a distinct part of the town's identity — and after Johnson, his former ward Francis Barber also set up a school in the area, going on to become one of the first Black schoolmasters in England.
Prince's Park, opened in 1863 to commemorate the marriage of the Prince of Wales, sits next to Christ Church and is genuinely documented as the smallest park in the UK — a small but distinctive local landmark. Away from these historic details, Burntwood's residential streets and everyday town centre business across its constituent areas make up the bulk of the locksmith work Ben covers here.
