My mother and we 3 children rented a flat on the ground floor of The Lodge in 1944 to 1945 when my father was demobbed from the Army. My grandfather, John Joseph Smith ( retired buthcher/baker from Easington Lane)unfortunately died here when he was discharged from Easington hospital in May, 1945. My brother and often played in the Lodge grounds and were friendly with the Caretaker who kept rabbits and ferrets.
