There were 109 Masons present.
The seeds were sown to form Harthill Lodge from our mother Lodge, Princess Park Lodge No. 4769 as early as 1970. The momentum grew slowly until 1972 when 15 Masons from Princess Park, Kirkstone, Ionic, Harmony, Dowling and Gatacre Lodges formed the potential founders of a Lodge to be called Harthill.
Why Harthill? This was the only remaining park in Liverpool whose name had not been adopted by a Lodge. The gates of that park are represented on our Lodge crest and although there are only two statues depicted on the crest, there are four, each depicting a season of the year. It is also interesting to note that the same person designed the gates of Warrington Town Hall.
Of the 15 founder members, two were father and son. This trait continues and to date there having been 5 father and sons in the Lodge, with WBro Ken Jones, Master in 2009, initiating his son Graeme into the Lodge. The Lodge takes great pride in the delivery of its ritual whilst placing an equal emphasis on enjoying our work and extending a warm welcome to our all guests.
At the present time only one of the founding members WBro Michael David Pugh PPrGSWks remains active in the Lodge.
