Description

The former entrance lodge to Queen's Park in Bolton is a disused building dating from around 1866. It is constructed of coursed and squared stone with a slate roof. The lodge is two storeys high and has an L-shaped plan, with the entrance located up steps at the angle of the two wings. It features a hipped entrance porch supported by braced timber posts. On the inner face of the advanced right-hand wing, there is a single light window, while above it, a half-hipped dormer contains a 2-light mullioned window. The ground floor has a roofed squared bay window with three mullioned lights, and above this, in the half-hipped gable return, is a 2-light mullioned window. To the left of the doorway, there are mullioned windows with three and two lights on each floor, with the upper window situated beneath a half-hipped dormer. The gabled return has a similar design, featuring a roofed canted bay window on the ground floor. The interior has not been inspected. Queen's Park was designed by William Henderson of Birkenhead in 1866, suggesting that the lodge was built around the same time.
