Main Lodges and Entrance Gates to Lytham Hall and Attached Boundary Wall to North East

Entrance archway with lodges. Likely dating to the 1840s, these structures were originally located near the former Estate Office in Hastings Place. They were moved to their present location after the construction of the Lytham-Blackpool Railway, which disrupted the original approach to Lytham Hall.

The buildings are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with stone dressings and slate roofs (now concealed). They are in an Italianate style, exhibiting a symmetrical design. The composition features single-storeyed lodges flanking a two-storeyed, round-headed archway. The architecture incorporates a stone plinth, emphatic rusticated quoins, string courses to the lodges, prominent moulded imposts to the archway that extend as cornices to the lodges, balustraded parapets to the lodges, a moulded surround to the arch with a carved keystone, a dentilled frieze, a prominent modillioned cornice, and a blocking course surmounted by elaborate carved cresting, including the Clifton arms. The wrought-iron gates within the archway are traditionally said to have been designed by Wren. Each lodge features a window with a shouldered architrave, a quintuple keystone, a moulded cornice (though the glazing has been altered), a doorway to the drive, and a concealed roof with a chimney at the outer end. Short screen walls are attached to each lodge, with a lower forward wing linked to a terminal pier.

Attached to the east lodge, a boundary wall extends north-eastwards for approximately 550 metres. This wall, constructed around 1850, has undergone alterations and repairs and is built of cobblestones with a render capping. It stands approximately 1.5 metres in height, except for a taller section attached to the entrance gateway, which includes a doorway. The wall runs along the line of Liggard Brook, incorporating a low ashlar parapet wall to the road bridge that spans the watercourse.
