This site, off the east side of Lichfield Lane - in the Berry Hill area of Mansfield - previously housed offices belonging to the National Coal Board and its successor(s) but it is now shared by several N.H.S. administrative units. The Coal Authority manages the effects of past coal mining, including subsidence damage claims which are not the responsibility of licensed coal mine operators. It deals with mine water pollution and other mining legacy issues. The Coal Authority is an executive non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.
