Fort Frederick — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay single-storey gate lodge, built c.1840, with porch added c.1860. Now disused. Hipped replacement slate roof, pitched gable to porch, red brick chimneystack to centre of roof with sawtooth band, overhanging eaves resting on pairs of timber corbels with cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with red brick to porch. Bipartite timber lattice casement windows, single lattice casement windows to sides of porch, all with stone sills. Segmental-arched opening to porch. Rendered rubble walls to entrance, sweep to northern wall, terminating in pair of punched stone piers, square-profile to northern pier and octagonal-profile to southern pier supporting cast-iron gates.

One of a pair of gate lodges to the Fort Frederick demesne, this lodge stands at a secondary entrance. The composition, scale, and window details give the building a decorative picturesque quality. The lodge and gate survive as notable original features of the landscape demesne of the former of Fort Frederick, although the house is now sadly demolished.
