History
The Bilbie family had Berry Hill Hall designed by an architect in 1730, the grounds (park) being part of the estate. The hall was developed into a convalescent home for coal miners and their families in 1925. In 1935 the grounds were opened to the public and the communities surrounding the area. The convalescent home (Berry Hill Hall) was sold and became a rehabilitation home for coal miners managed by the Minster for Health. The land was given to trustees to become Berry Hill Park in 1954.[3]
