Description
This description covers a pair of lodges with attached gates, piers, and railings located on Dudley Road in Himley, dating from the early 19th century. The lodges are constructed from ashlar and feature a slate roof, with cast-iron gates and railings. Each lodge is a single storey and consists of three bays, adorned with corner pilasters, a central pedimented Ionic portico, and a six-panel door that has a rectangular overlight and a moulded architrave. Flanking the doors are glazing bar sashes, also with moulded architraves.
The lodges are positioned beside three pairs of ornamental gates, which are supported by square gate piers that have oversailing caps and trefoil-headed panels. Each lodge has ornamental railings attached to its outer side, ending in a square pier with an oversailing cap. At the rear of each lodge, there is a three-bay Ionic colonnade along with more glazing bar sashes. These lodges are possibly designed by William Atkinson, who was responsible for the enlargement of Himley Hall between 1824 and 1827.
