Cemetery Road was built for Hanley Borough Council by Mr Durber, along with the drainage and boundary walls for £1808.

The house like the other lodge was built of white bricks with stone dressings to the design of Henry Ward and Son, who designed Stoke Town Hall.

William Marsh was appointed in 1860 as one of the labourers and sexton at the cemetery to live in the lodge on Stoke Road. Wages at 18s a week for 7 days work and any overtime that may be required.
