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 A few more in the Headingley area that I can think of, off the top of my head:* The entrance to Hinsley Hall on Headingley Lane* Next to St Columba's United Reformed Church on Headingley Lane (this one has a datestone and some initials carved above the windows, plus a latin inscription above the door)* Ash Crescent, just up from South Parade Baptist Church (I think this was part of the Headingley Lodge estate and is all that remains)* Entrance to the water works on Otley Road* Entrance to the Village Hotel on Otley RoadPhill, if you want any help in getting the original names of some of these lodges/gatehouses, drop me a line and I'll get the old maps out!
