WHEATON ASTON

'Wheaton Aston' is a village in Staffordshire, England about 15 km south west of Stafford and 12 km west of Cannock. It is located beside Bridge 19 of the Shropshire Union Canal.
It has a population of several thousand according to the latest British Survey. It has good transport links making it an ideal commuter village to the large cities of the Midlands - this owevr is sadly not true, as the choice travel bus route is unreliable at best. Junction 12 of the M6 motorway is only 5 miles away. This provides quick access to Birmingham, Walsall and Wolverhampton whilst easy access to the M54, A449 and A5 provide access to Stafford, Cannock, Telford and Shrewsbury.
Although in the heart of the South Staffs countryside there are many amenities for the local population including two pubs, The Hartley Arms and the Coach and Horses (which also provides accommodation for a Chinese take-away), a post office, paper shop, general store, a garage-cum-chandlery-cum-hardware shop (Turners), a motor engineers (Hinsley's) and a couple of farms (The Bridge and Whitegates) who also sell their produce direct to the public. It also as a shop which holds the world record for most failed business ventures in a year with a tanning salon, bike shop, loft conversion shop and a i think a curry.
It has a music festival, the Wheaton Aston Festival now in its sixth year, which, one day, hopes to rival the Download Festival.
