Bulwell Hall (See picture ) was a mansion built in 1770 by the landowner John Newton, set in grounds to the north of Bulwell town centre and known initially as Pye Wipe Hall, a name that stuck locally until the building was demolished in 1958. Passing to Newton's descendants, Bulwell Hall was sold at auction in 1864 to Samuel Thomas Cooper along with over of land. It served variously as a sanatorium, an approved school for boys, and an Italian prisoner of war camp before its demolition.
