Very sadly this little lodge building on East Drive, that dates back to 1877, has recently suffered severe fire damage. Searching the internet for more information the photographer found a recent estate agent's "For sale" brochure indicating that it was being marketed, prior to the fire, but in a derelict state needing complete refurbishment, for £625,000.
