The brick foundations of a presumed rebuild of the gate lodge (documented c. 1900) with a cellar, privies and a garden, were found and recorded. There was no sign of an earlier phase of construction (the lodge being documented as built c.1800 in connection with the redesign of Cobham Park by Humphry Repton). The west side of the gateway and a metalled drive were found immediately adjoining the gate lodge to the east. The building and gate were demolished c.1960(1 and 5).

Remains of gatehpuse and associated structures removed for Channel Tunnel Rail link (2)

A summary of a desk based assessmnet and a walkover survey from 1994 was done for the widening of the M2 at Junctions 1-4. Brewers Gate was originally the north entrace of Cobham Hall from Watling Street. From the walkover survey it was noticed that no traces of it remain. (3)

The lodge was built around 1800. It consisted of an octagonal lodge with an archway screen extending out across the roadway with a pedestrian doorway beyond. It was demolished in the early 1980s. (4)
