The Grade II-listed former coach house and stable block of Berry Hill Hall on the south side of Berry Hill Lane. These formed part of a mid-late C18th country house with C19th and C20th additions. The south front has a square tower with an octagonal 2-storey cupola topped with a leaded ogee cap and clock faces to each of its four sides. In 1924 the premises were opened as a miners’ convalescent home by Mr. John Bingley. Later, between 1953-1990, it was owned and managed by the NHS. Most of the site, including the Hall (not visible here) has been converted into luxury apartments, although this process appears unfinished. To the left of the car, beyond fences and notices warning of "steep cliffs", lies a redundant quarry that now houses modern housing. The A60 (the main Mansfield-Nottingham road) lies 10 minutes walk away, behind the photographer.
