THE LODGE TO HILLSIDE (continued):

Owners and Occupiers

1867-1875
The first mention of the Lodge is in the 1867 Rates Book as 'the lodge to Hillside' and owned by F.W. Reynolds. We see from the 1871 census that Thomas Hailwood, a gardener born in Aughton, and his wife Elizabeth born in Lathom and their sons William and Thomas were living here and they remained until 1874 at least.

c.1876-c.1905
By 1881 the gardener was James Calland, aged 36, born in West Derby as was his wife Annie aged 35; of their 6 children William, aged 5, had been born in Woolton thus suggesting a date for their coming of c.1876. James Calland remained here in this capacity as gardener until c.1905 when he moved into Hillside itself as caretaker until the coming of Mr Atkinson in 1911.

c.1905-1908
From about 1905 until 1908 his place in the Lodge was taken by Mrs Annie Shaw.

?1911-?1913
Joseph Butte(r)field seems to have been there in 1911 and stayed until 1913.

1914-1916
Peter Harrison followed, being there between 1914-16.

?1917
Henry Spencer was the occupier

c.1920-1936
John Phythian was the last occupant we note from c.1920 to 1936  - or so ?
