Places (Help with places, streets and buildings in Wigan.)
admin.,
The building is still there if you are enquiring about the one in Standish. The lodge is on Wigan Road and on the left, before the centre (The Globe, shops etc) when coming from Wigan.
There was a petrol station on the left, between Ashfield Park (at the bottom of the hill) and Standish centre, which was demolished about twenty years ago and there is an apartment block on the land; the lodge is about 100m further on.
To give you a guide, the lodge is opposite to approx. 45 Wigan Road.
The lodge is slightly set back from the road and is gable-end on as the front door faces the road (I believe, there is no name to this road/driveway) which once led up to Prospect House.
The lodge is also mostly hidden by trees and bushes, so can be easily missed. I think, there is still a bus stop outside of the lodge gates.
By the way, the pyramid structure may have been in the grounds of Prospect House and belonged to one of the people there and not to the lodge.
