Description

The Former Weedon Barracks West Lodge is a gatehouse built in the early 19th century. It is constructed of yellow brick with a slate roof and features brick ridge stacks. The building is two stories high and has a four-window range. The main facade faces east and includes a round-arched staircase or bridge that spans the canal, complete with iron handrails leading to a perron and a door that provides access to the first floor. The lodge has 12-pane sash windows throughout, a stone cornice, and a blocking course. At the top, there is an octagonal painted wood cupola with a louvred circular panel on its main face, a panelled frieze, and an octagonal leaded dome. The rear elevation, facing west, features a round-headed arch that spans the canal, with a portcullis set within blank windows on either side and on the first floor. The building also has lead rainwater pipes.
