In my neck of the woods (Adel), there are: Sadler Hall Lodge on Church Lane which was the lodge to Church Lane House which subsequently became Leeds University's Sadler Hall of Residence (named after the University's inter wars Vice- Chancellor). Sadler Hall was demolished early 1990s and replaced with modern housing.Long Causeway- extended lodge opposite Adel St John's Primary School at entrance to Moor Croft (cul de sac of 1980's houses (which presumably replaced a house of that name)Corner of Cookridge Lane/Holt Lane - Victorian lodge to (earlier) Cookridge HallLawnswood Cemetary gatehouses on Otley Road and New Adel LaneWeetwood Lane ( South of Ring Road) substantially extended gatehouse to The Hollies. (NB several more gatehouses further down Weetwood Lane; this was evidently the Beverley Hills of Leeds!)Long Causeway - 3 lodges to East of Long Causeway. The original houses to two of them replaced by modern housing on Glendower Park and the adjacent cul de sac. The third is part of a still existing complex of house/ stable/carriage house. There is also an extended lodge further up Long Causeway at The Heath. Long Causeway was presumably Outer Beverley Hills.Lodge to the Friends' Meeting House on New Adel LaneI suspect that there must at one time also have been at least one lodge to the houses replaced by the Oaklands estate off Long Causeway and possibly a lodge to Adel Grange on Adel Lane (Victorian home of Isabella Ford designed by Alfred Waterhouse)

There also appear to be 2 lodges on the Austhorpe side of Selby Road

On Selby Road between the Colton Roundabout and Sainsburys, on the outbound from Leeds carriageway, there's a bungalow (now surrounded by semi detached houses) which I believe is the lodge/gatehouse for Austhorpe Hall.I don't know how to cut and paste a google earth photo, but on Google Earth its co-ordinates are53 47'51.22" N1 26'23.17" Wand the street map photo is labelled 531 Selby Road.

There's a West Lodge in New St. Farsley,which is now a Dr.'s Surgery. Further up New St. is another lodge house but can't remember what it's called.

Also Athill Lodge on St Helen's Lane in Adel. Original lovely Queen Ann revival house remains (Athill Court) but divided into flats.

I know the kind of houses you are referring to, I have seen a few around North Leeds, well mostly Headingley, there is quite a prominent one just off the Otley Road on the left a few hundred feet after where Salvos is, also there is another on Burley Road just after where you would turn left up St Annes Lane, and another at the back of North Lane in Headingley. They seem rather out of place as most are now surrounded by brick houses of a later period. While most look like kind of lodge / gate houses, I dont believe they all are, I think they were designed by the same architect, or at least they follow a similar design influence, I believe they are victorian, but built in an earlier style, most are stone built with a Yorkshire stone tile roof that features ornate chimneys and the carved stonework seems a bit over the top for the size of the property. Does anyone know who designed and built these properties?Johnny

I'll check that next week. I may be wrong but I seem to remember thet Meanwood Park Hospital had two different lodges. One, as stated, at the junction of Parkside Road and Tongue Lane, the other, on Tongue Lane itself, where the entrance was - and still is, that leads into the grounds [now housing estate]. Looking on Google Earth / Street View, the Lodge / Gate House seems to have disappeared, but I recall from my many unhappy hours of cricket parctice at Cardinal Heenan, seeing this building I agree liits, there were certainly two lodges at MPH as you say.

Nowt to do with Austhorpe Hall I'm afraid, but possibly to do with Smeatons place which was on that estate.
