Built in 1770 by John Newton, Bulwell Hall is today in ruin and is surrounded by pleasant parkland boasting twin lakes and an 18-hole golf course. Two small areas of woodland complete what is a gorgeous area to explore. Keep your eyes out for kestrel overhead and listen for the tap-tap-tap of woodpeckers. Street parking is found just off Sandhurst Road.

During the 1930’s the Hall became a sanatorium – a place of care for the mentally ill, but was taken over by the Army shortly after the outbreak of World War II.

During the War it became an Italian Prisoner of War camp and when the War was over, the building was left in a very poor state of repair and had been damaged by mining subsidence, due to this, it was eventually demolished in 1958.

After the demolition, only the stable block now remains. The council has been working on plans for the site for a few years, and also hopes to undertake work on the grounds around the historic building. This would include resurfacing the car park, dredging nearby lakes, and woodland management.
