Located in the historic home town of DH Lawrence, Eastwood Hall was built in the
early 19th Century and bought by the coal mine owning Walker family. The new
National Coal Board acquired Eastwood Hall firstly as their Area Offices and
later the Board's National Offices. This was the location for several crisis
meetings during the National Miners’ Strike in the 1980s. Nowadays, pleasant
grounds, spacious public areas and a popular leisure club make for a relaxing
stay in historic surroundings.
