GV II
Lodge. 1880. Squared coursed sandstone with slate roof. 2 storeys. The main part has a semi-octagonal front with 2 bays facing forwards and one bay to each canted side. The windows have sashes without glazing bars and are round-headed with a moulded impost band on the ground floor, and on the 1st floor have rebated surrounds and a sill band. Set back to the right is a single-storey wing with a hipped roof which is carried forwards over a timber porch which has arcaded round-headed lights. Chimney on ridge of main house. HISTORY: Williamson Park was laid out on the site of disused quarries and moorland. Some development began during the Cotton Famine of the 1860s, but large-scale development only began during the 1870s when James Williamson (Senior) paid to have the landscape developed to the designs of Mr Maclean of Castle Donnington. James Williamson (Junior) handed the park over to Lancaster Corporation in 1881. (Ashworth S: The Lino King: York: 1989-).
