West Lodges (North), Woodhead Street, High Valleyfield

A pair of small, square neo-classical ashlar gate lodges likely dating from the late 18th century, which originally formed the west entrance to Valleyfield House (demolished in the mid 20th century) in Higher Valleyfield. The lodges are first shown on a map of the Valleyfield Estate from around 1815. They are orientated north to south with a channelled gate pier abutting the inner elevation of each lodge. The main (west) and rear (east) elevations have a blind round arch to the centre with a single window opening (now blocked). A decorative roundel of a horse's head and crown remains to the rear of the north lodge. The inner elevations have a single door opening in plain surrounds, with a uPVC door inserted (2023). The former pyramidal roofs and central chimneystacks (all collapsed prior to 2007) have been replaced with flat roofs in recent years (2023), which are concealed behind corniced parapets.
