Central Lodge is one of the 8 gatehouses built in the early 1840s as part of the original Birkenhead Park. It was lived in by Head Gardeners of the Park until the late 20th century. The building is undergoing complete renovation and modernisation. The property has been empty for over 12 years and has suffered much decay. The current owners have removed modern plaster and ceilings to reveal the fabric of the building and visitors can now see original features including a blind window, internal guttering and downpipe, copper heater and bench sink.
