Description
The Lodge to Williamson Park is a building constructed in 1880, made of squared coursed sandstone with a slate roof. It stands two storeys high, featuring a semi-octagonal front with two bays facing forward and one bay on each canted side. The windows are round-headed sashes without glazing bars, with a moulded impost band on the ground floor. On the first floor, the windows have rebated surrounds and a sill band. To the left, there is a single-storey wing with a hipped roof, which extends forward over a timber porch that has arcaded round-headed lights. A chimney is located on the ridge of the main house.
Williamson Park was developed on the site of former quarries and moorland. Initial development began during the Cotton Famine of the 1860s, but significant work started in the 1870s when James Williamson (Senior) funded the landscape's design by Mr. Maclean of Castle Donnington. The park was handed over to Lancaster Corporation by James Williamson (Junior) in 1881.
