Saltwell Park, Dene Lodge

This charming building, one of two lodges within the park, was formerly known as West Lodge. It was built as the park Superintendant’s house, and was originally immediately adjacent to the western entrance gates, but the road was altered and the entrance gates moved. It appears that it began life as a single storey cottage, incorporating only a kitchen and a bedroom. In the late 19th century, the staircase was added and the upper 2 bedrooms created, along with the dormer windows. Built in 1883. LOCAL LIST
