Hope House farm

Hope House farm is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map as a series of buildings set around a courtyard with a farmhouse and garden to the south, three ranges of barns to the north and a possible gingang on the northernmost side. There are substantial changes to the farm by the time of the second edition map, with perhaps only the farmhouse surviving intact. The agricultural buildings have been reduced and possibly replaced by buildings associated with Whitburn Colliery to the immediate north (HER2493). The farmhouse later became a public house called Whitburn Lodge, which survives but is derelict and fire damaged (as of 2025). The roughly coursed stone wall forming the boundary to Mill Lane may be the surviving wall of the farmstead.
