Full description

By the 1870s a lodge, known as a 'tin hut', presumably for gardeners, had been built below the old coal yard, part of the pleasure grounds improvements carried out by a Headland Improvement Committee in 1865 when the branch of Castle Road which had served the old soldiers huts, became the right fork into the newly constructed Castle Drive. The building was used as a venue for Regimental 'at homes' from 1903 to 1908 when the regimental band would play.

The building, now demolished, appears with well established vegetable gardens on an aerial photograph of 1955. In later years it was commonly known as 'The Lodge'. (1).
