Weetwood Hall Lodge

Weetwood Hall Lodge is a late 19th-century building located on Weetwood Lane, originally serving as a lodge for Weetwood Hall, which is now part of the University of Leeds. Designed by WH Thorp for Alfred Cooke, the lodge is constructed of ashlar stone with a slate roof and features a square plan over two storeys. The entrance includes a Tudor-arched doorway with a stepped hoodmould, and there are single- and three-light mullion and transom windows, including a wide canted bay window on the ground floor with decorative moulded corners above. The building is adorned with moulded string courses and eaves, and the upper storey has a gabled design with kneelers and gable copings. A tall moulded external chimney stack is located on the left side and at the rear of the building. The interior was not inspected, and alterations were underway at the time of the survey. Alfred Cooke, the owner of the Hunslet Printing Works, resided at Weetwood Hall on Otley Road in the late 19th century. There is another lodge associated with Weetwood Hall located on Otley Road.
