Nun's Moor Park is at the corner of Studley Terrace and Brighton Grove. The Park House (lodge) is very attractive, and there is a clock mounted in a small green painted tower. The clock has four dials which are illuminated at night. The clock is weight friven and requires winding every week. The clock chimes the quarters and strikes the hours. The old chiming clock was removed when an electric driven mechanism was installed by William Potts of Leeds in 1984. The bells remain in the tower. Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition as a lodge.
