Halsnead Hall was built of red sandstone by Thomas Willis in 1684. It was sold in 1929 and demolished in 1932. The huge wooded estate known as Halsnead Park was unsuitable for building houses due to mining subsidence from the nearby Cronton colliery so part of the park was converted into a static caravan park. Now the home of many retired people, the open views, community spirit and well tended gardens make it a very pleasant place to live.
