Aspen Lodge, high green

Recommended Posts

Always been interested by Aspen lodge on the corner of westwood road,High green. Did this used to be a gatehouse to a larger property? the kind you would see in fulwood etc.

 

Looking from above on google maps there is a patch of land behind it and what looks like an old drive way leading from the corner. i was told by a family member that there used to be a tunnel on that land that was filled and covered. Possibly remnants of a cellar? anyone have any info regarding its history.
