Description

Oakfield Lodge was part of the Oakfield estate (HER 6353), built in the early 1860s. The estate comprised a few acres close to Condercum Road and was occupied by Col. Oliver Selby and then of J.G. Hicks. The main house was in use until its demolition in the 1930s and the estate sold for housing. Of the original buildings, the Lodge, now on Conhope Lane, still stands today.
