Lodges And Gate Piers To South Of Junction With Clockburn Lane

The lodges and gate piers located to the south of the junction with Clockburn Lane, associated with Whickham Golf Club, were built around 1860 as former east lodges for the Gibside Estate. Constructed in Gothic style using sandstone ashlar, the lodges feature rubble stone side walls. They are one-storey, one-bay structures with a plinth, cornice, and castellated parapet. Each lodge has a 4-panel door on the inner returns, which is topped by a pointed fanlight set in a stepped, two-centred-arched recess. The fronts of the lodges include a pointed-arched sash window and have moulded and fluted impost strings. Between the lodges are two ashlar gate piers with square plinths, roll mouldings at the plinth and beneath the overhanging cornices, and shallow pyramidal caps.
