Local to us,. is ''Eckington hall'' - Joseph Wells jointly with his brother George, increased their coal business till J. and G. Wells became amongst the largest coal proprietors. When he became very rich, he wanted to build a hall, to be called 'Eckington hall'. Looking in vain for a suitable place in Eckington, so he chose a site in Mosborough, 1871 -1872,. thus we have 'Eckington' Hall at 'Mosborough'. He lived but a very short time at his new hall, dying very suddenly October 6th, 1873.// This property is now given over to private residential apartments.
