Berry Hill Lane, MANSFIELD, NG18 4FT

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.

Part of the Grade II-listed former Berry Hill Hall. This protruding square tower on the south elevation of the stable block features an octagonal two-storey cupola topped with a leaded ogee cap. The stables and adjacent farm courtyard formed part of what was once a mid-late C18th country house. In 1924 the Hall was opened as a miners’ convalescent home by Mr. John Bingley. Later on, between 1953-1990, it was owned and managed by the NHS. Other parts of the site are still in the process of being converted into luxury apartments.

This wing, on the west side of the Grade II-listed former Berry Hill Hall, is seen from Berry Hill Lane. It formed part of a mid-late C18th country house but has C19th and C20th additions. In 1924 the premises were opened as a miners’ convalescent home by Mr. John Bingley. Later on, between 1953-1990, it was owned and managed by the NHS. Parts of the site are still in the process of being converted into luxury apartments. Berry Hill Park, at the rear of this residential complex, can be reached via a pedestrian gate to the photographer's left. The A60 (the main Mansfield-Nottingham road) is a 10 minutes walk away on the photographer's right.

An early 18th century country house, with large scale additions built for William Bilbie in around 1770. A new south wing was added in the early 19th century, with a central pediment. Further additions were made in the 19th and mid 20th century. The building was used until about 1990 as a miners' rehabilitation centre. The Hall subsequently fell into disrepair, but is now (2010) being converted into apartments. See also http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/bar-mansfield.pdf.
