Brief description of site

Berry Hill had mid-19th-century pleasure grounds and a park of about 11 hectares, originally laid out by Robert Marnock between 1856 and 1860 around a small country house. There was extensive artificial rockwork by James Pulham. The extent of survival of these features is unknown. The house has been demolished and a block of flats stands in its place.

Brief history of site

Robert Marnock was called in to design a layout for the gardens after 1855. By 1860 over seven hectares had been planted with transplanted standard specimen trees and with shrubs and flowers.
