The mines in Eastwood were originally owned by the Barber and Walker families. Eastwood Hall was formerly the home of the Walker family and built in 1810. Opposite Eastwood Hall on Mansfield Road is Durban House, seen here (which has recently been renovated), featured in the D H Lawrence story 'Sons and Lovers' and was used by Barber, Walker and Co. as offices for the mines. Now part of Eastwood Heritage Trail.
