Eastwood Hall & Brinsley

Eastwood Hall sits on the northern edge of Eastwood in the borough of Broxtowe, surrounded by mixed parkland, hotel grounds and the streets of the former mining town. Eastwood itself is the birthplace of D. H. Lawrence and the town centre includes the D. H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum and related sites that record the area’s industrial past. The landscape still bears traces of coal working; near Brinsley the preserved Brinsley Headstocks mark the site of the former colliery and stand as a local landmark connected to mining heritage.

Brinsley is a village just west of Eastwood with council housing, private homes and stretches of farmland and open paths that link into the wider Broxtowe countryside. Local provision includes a parish church, community halls, pubs and primary schooling, with bus services and local roads providing connections to nearby towns and to Nottingham. Walks, cycle routes and bridleways extend from the villages into fields and small woodlands, used by residents for daily recreation and events tied to the area’s history.
