Hi, are you talking about Plantation Mill, or wondering if there was something else in the field on the right hand side?

This mill closed way back in 1934. The cobbles or "setts" that you walk on up there were actually made as a path to the mill. There once were remains of reservoirs, wonder if this is the "lodge" you mention The pensioners cottages at the top of Plantation street are built on the site of Plantation Mill Square, which was workers houses for the mill.
