Castledines Lodge is mentioned in the 1901 census but no mention of it in previous censuses or in 1911. After looking at several historic maps, it seems there was a Castledine Lodge for a few years and seems to have previously been called Rothley Lodge (not in the same place as Rothley Lodge Farm in Rothley). However, I cannot find any further information about this lodge, through electoral rolls, censuses or the general internet. It looks like Boundary Road area – do you have any tips on where I can go from here? Or perhaps if anybody has any information about this lodge? Thanks
