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.
