Description
The Lodge to Rotton Park Reservoir is a canal reservoir lodge built around 1830, likely designed by Thomas Telford, with an extension added around 1880. It is constructed of red brick, with the rear rendered, and features a slate hipped roof with deep eaves and an octagonal brick chimney at the apex, topped with 20th-century pots. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the original lodge on the right showcasing a canted front and tall sash windows on each side of both storeys, featuring vertical glazing bars in segmental arch openings. To the left, there is a later 19th-century two-storey, two-window range with sash windows. The rear includes a hipped roof wing on the left and a gable-ended wing on the right. The interior has not been inspected. The reservoir itself was constructed by Thomas Telford in 1826 to provide water to the Birmingham Canal, which Telford rebuilt from James Brindley's 1768 canal.
