Re: What's a lodge to you?
Hyndburn B.C. refer to lodges, as bodies of water, too.

Re: What's a lodge to you?
Anyone remember the water for Queen's Mill, Penny House Lane?
If you go to Taskers now and use the car park .. the walls on the right were part of the sides of their lodge. Used to climb over their boundary walls to 'view'. Find it a little creepy now when I visit, to think that was filled with water at one time (shudders).

I have done.
Contacted the Oxford English Dictionary new words editor, telling them what we know the word to be, and supplied published evidence that lodge can refer to a body of water.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I'll let you know if you're called as a witness.

Re: What's a lodge to you?
The Lodge refers to the artificial water storage area (man made) for use within the Mills.

See the last sentence paragraph 3. I've seen other references while I've just been looking but nothing describing them like this fella.

Re: What's a lodge to you?
Bit of a puzzler why the word is not in the dictionary.
The ones I remember are
Broad Oak Lodges
Bulloughs Lodge
Hag Lodge
Hambledon Lodge
Plantation Lodges
Steiners Lodge
Warmden Lodge
Can't remember the one Latex described off Queens Rd.

Re: What's a lodge to you?
The term mill pond is often used colloquially to refer to a very flat body of water. "It's like a mill pond!" - Captain Smith of R.M.S. Titanic.
I guess Captain Smith was not from Lancashire.....

Re: What's a lodge to you?
I used to live on Lodge street, and where Bms garage is, i believe that there used to be a lodge there.

Yes, I'd forgotten about that one.
There was a small one on the left down Grange lane,
facing the end of Cross St, never knew its name.
Then the one on Broad Oak Rd, the Ambulance Station now occupies the site.
Theres probaly more, long since filled in.

Strangely we used that phrase in our family, growing up.
Which usually meant the sea or lake was errily glass like, and we were going to have some great waterskiing.
We'd still refer to a lodge as a lodge though. Never a mill pond.
My dad always eyed lodges, wondering if they were large enough to get a boat on.
One near Darwen was.
We only skied on there once though.
Wasn't much fun, just going round and round, in circles.
Plus the ducks looked a bit peeved, at our disturbing the peacefulness of their lodge.
