The Engineer 612 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 There is an old lodge house on The Wells Road, which I presume was originally connected with Mapperley Hospital (former lunatic asylum) as it would have been 'in the grounds'. It looks like it would have had charm in its day but has been derelict for many years and suffered from vandalism (smashed windows, roof slates missing, etc.) I thought it would end up being demolished but it is now being refurbished and there is a planning application for change of use to become a day centre for dogs.

Cliff Ton 10,449 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 This place ? https://goo.gl/maps/XZaTydzn13NwmoS2A I believe it was the Station Master's house for St Ann's Well Station on the old Suburban line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,449 Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 I didn't realize there were so many old lodges up there ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Engineer 612 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 It's the one that Stu references. As an off-topic aside, the old station master's house (459 The Wells Road) is architecturally similar to the one at the bottom of Porchester Road (also on the Nottingham Suburban Railway line). Quite unusual brickwork on the chimney stacks. https://maps.app.goo.gl/1Et1y6Hnnq3py4xw9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 Where the Wells Road started from St Ann's Well rd there was X roads and one of the roads was named Coppice Road fomaly Ransom Rd. Half way up Coppice rd, was also a hospital for mental problems. There was a lodge house at the begining of the drive. Do not think that it was any thing to do with train stations. (just a usless bit of information) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidA 153 Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 I walked past the lodge this morning. It's really nice to see it being done up. Like The Engineer, I had just assumed it would be pulled down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ube 38 Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 The old station masters house belongs to the council... Mate of mine used live there with his 8 kids.... Its quite big inside(it would have be with 8 kids) built properly and will be still standing when these modern houses are all crumbling away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Engineer 612 Posted November 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Different plan now for The Lodge - pre-school nursery (instead of day centre for dogs). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
