New Lodge is a housing estate in Barnsley in South Yorkshire, England.
The 'New Lodge' estate is located to the north of Barnsley on the A61 near Athersley.
The earliest reference to New Lodge dates from 1377, when the area was referred to as 'Newe Laythes', becoming New Laithes in 1541. New Laithes was originally one of the granges (farms) belonging to Monk Bretton Priory. Following the dissolution of the priory in 1539, the land was bought by the Blythman family, who would live at New Laithes for more than two hundred years. The land was eventually sold by descendants of the Blythmans to John Carr in 1769.
Maps from 1850 show 8 or 9 farm outbuildings at New Lodge, together with the large stone built manor house with its long carriageway and the 'Roundhouse' lodge on the Wakefield Turnpike (now the A61). The manor house was built in the late 18th century by the York architect John Carr for his nephew John Clarke. Factory built houses, or prefabs, comprise most of the estate. These are of the concrete section Tarran type, and the BISF houses, known as the 'tin houses'. By the late 1940s there was a thriving community of predominantly mining families and the estate was completed in the early 1950s with conventional brick houses.
Regent Crescent and Park Avenue were called New Lodge before the council estate was built. The estate is currently undergoing a renovation, with the replacement of some of the Tarran houses and major upgrades to the remaining stock.
