Promenade shelter. Late C19. Castings by Jeffreys, Westminster. Cast-iron and wood structure, lead roof. The low-pitched hipped roof has small gablets, and a rich fretted decorative embellishment to the ridge, with finials, and the eaves on all sides, beneath a plain frieze, covering an open-sided 2-bay shelter on 3 pairs of slender turned wood columns with cast-iron brackets to a grid of moulded beams and a panelled soffit in 12 compartments, plus diagonal 'dragon beams' to the corner bays. The glazed central and end screens have a central mullion and a transom at the bracket springing height; wooden slatted seats are set to cast-iron brackets. Cantilevered from the promenade over the beach is a corresponding balcony in 4x1 bays, with cast-iron standards with scrolled stays, and 2 horizontal rails, returned at the ends, and on a structure of cast-iron beams and fill. A small cast plate on the S end, above the seating records 'J. JEFFREYS/ ....& CAST IRON/ 10 GREAT QUEEN STREET/ WESTMINSTER'. One of 7 similar shelters (qv), maintained in good condition, this is one of 2 near the promenade edge with its own section of balcony, and is the furthest N of the group.
