Introduction
Higher Hall was a hall with grounds and a park. There was a wooded drive from Smith Lane through the park to the north of the hall. The field boundaries were still clear in the park. There was a wooded boundary belt to the north-east side of the drive, possibly with a nursery on the edge. Small ponds, probably field ponds, were scattered in the park. The site is now lost, and the area is now used for open cast mining.
