Beaconside is an area of Stafford, England. It is home to the Ministry of Defence's Stafford site, which was formerly a Royal Air Force base.[1] Staffordshire University's Stafford campus was also located in the area until its closure in 2014.[2] Beaconside shares its name with a major road in the area, which forms part of the A513 road.
