Before and after photos: New lease of life for historic Firbeck Hall near Worksop

The centuries-old property has a long line of links to aristocrats, famous actors and even Royalty – having housed five families since its construction.

Firbeck Hall was deemed one of Europe’s most exclusive country clubs between 1934 and 1939, boasting a mirror-walled ballroom, outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts, 18-hole golf course, restaurant, cocktail bar and even an aerodrome.

Then for many years, it was used as a rehabilitation centre by miners and then used for industrial injuries but closed in 1990.

Since the closure, many residents were concerned with how the building had fallen into a “state of disrepair” and despite many private owners expressing an interest in the site over the years, no ‘concrete’ progress was made and the site was left ‘abandoned’ and unused.

That was until the “most significant development in 28 years”, according to Friends of Firbeck Hall, came about which saw planning permission granted for residential use in 2018.
