House, formerly one of a pair of lodges to The
Mount (home of Josiah Spode). Circa 1810.
Yellow brick with ashlar portico and plain tiled
roof. low 2-storeyed, with full-height portico of Doric column
supporting pediment at east end, over doorway. Fenestration in
north elevation renewed. Later extension to the west.
In 1859 Fredrick
Bishop (who had purchase the Mount Estate in 1856 for housing
development on the land) began to prepare the rest of the estate for
development by building a road from Penkhull to Hartshill which in
the 1870's was named Princes Road.
The laying out of
this road involved moving one of the lodges built by Spode at
Hartshill, the abandonment of the drive built in 1829-30, and the
re-construction of the lodge and a new drive to Princes Road.
