Abstract:		 Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out a heritage assessment of East Lodge, Aldcliffe, Lancaster, Lancashire, prior to a proposed renovation and extension to the building. This primarily comprised the compilation of a desk-based assessment and a site visit, which was carried out on 27th April 2022, from which an assessment of the significance of the building and potential impact of the proposals was produced. The site is south-west of Lancaster, adjacent to the Lancaster Canal at the junction of Aldcliffe Road and Aldcliffe Hall Drive. The lodge is marked on the first edition 1:10,560 Ordnance Survey map of the area, published in 1848, and was enlarged to the south between 1890 and 1910, after which the footprint of the building remained the same into the 1930s. It is known to have served Aldcliffe Hall, which was built in 1817 (the lodged has a datestone of 1827) by Edward Dawson, to the designs of George Webster of Kendal. How long the lodge actually served the function its name suggests is unclear, because by the mid-19th century the census returns list it as being regularly occupied by agricultural workers. The site visit revealed that externally the building has retained much of its original form and fabric, although it has evidently been extended to the south and south-east. Internally it has been much altered and subject to considerable damage due to decay. The proposals would benefit the building in providing a new use for it and preventing further degradation, but they would also allow the core part of the significant fabric to remain, with sympathetic restoration, while the extension would be to the already altered south end. It would also allow the removal of inappropriate additions to the south-east and west. It is recommended, however, that a more detailed record of the structure be obtained through means of an archaeological building recording in order to better understand it and preserve it by record prior to any changes.
