This derelict lodge is one of the two South Lodges along Wolverley Road, the other lodge is converted into a house. The lodges were once part of the imposing Lea Castle country estate. Lea Castle was built with the profits of the local iron industry. Edward Knight owned two local iron mills, he had Lea Castle built in the neo-Gothic style in 1762. Lea Castle was eventually demolished in 1945. All that remains of the house is some parkland and the long boundary wall, along with the South and North lodges.
