At the eastern end of Lloyds Coppice is the site of Madeley Wood Hall, a late 19C manor house belonging to the Anstice family, local industrialists who operated the Madeley Wood Company. They owned mines, ironworks and brickworks and for some considerable time were influential figures in the history of the Gorge.
Although the Hall was demolished in the 1920s, there are surviving remains of the former stores. These were built into the hillside, this may have given insulation from the ground above to maintain an even temperature for storing food
