During the Great War two military training camps were built on Cannock Chase - Brocton Camp, which was located near to Anson's Bank, and Rugeley Camp which extended along Penkridge Bank. The two camps were separated by the Sherbrook Valley. Nothing of Rugeley Camp remains, although some of the original roadways still exist.
