The Lodge To Beaumont Park

This is a park lodge dating from 1883, with later 20th-century additions. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings and has a Westmorland slate roof. The eaves are deeply overhanging, featuring embossed decorative plasterwork and large wooden brackets. Two stone stacks are present. The lodge is a single storey with an attic. Chamfered ashlar defines the quoins and plinth.

The north-east front features a projecting wing to the left with a bow window containing three casements, and decorated plaster eaves. The side facade has a projecting porch. To the right is a single wooden cross casement window set within a moulded ashlar surround. Above, there is a through-eaves dormer window with a 20th-century casement and an ashlar surround topped with a pediment.

The south-east, or park front, has two three-light cross casement windows, each in a moulded ashlar surround, and a single through-eaves dormer window above, also topped with a pediment.

Beaumont Park, originally known as Dungeon Wood, was given to Huddersfield by the landowner H F Beaumont in 1879 and opened to the public in October 1883 by the Duke and Duchess of Albany.
