Description
Norman Lodge West is a lodge located at Birkenhead Park, built between 1843 and 1847 by architects Lewis Hornblower and John Robertson for Sir Joseph Paxton. The building features an ashlar façade and a Welsh slate roof. It is a single-storey structure with a two-storey central block, consisting of three bays that are symmetrical along both axes. The central block has a recessed entrance with fluted Doric columns and a plain entablature, flanked by single-storey bays that project slightly. The windows have been renewed but remain in their original openings, featuring shouldered architraves. There are side wall stacks on the central range. This lodge is one of a pair with Norman Lodge East and is part of the original development of Birkenhead Park.
