SY6879 ESPLANADE 873-1/21/164 (East side) Promenade shelter opposite Chesterfield Place
GV II
Promenade shelter. Late C19. Erected by Bird and Cox, contractors, Weymouth. Cast-iron and wood structure with timber glazed panels, lead-covered wood roof. The low-pitched hipped roof has small gablets, and rich fretted decorative cast-iron embellishment to the ridge and to the eaves on all sides, covering an open-sided 2-bay shelter on 3 pairs of slender turned wood columns with cast-iron fretted brackets to a grid of moulded beams and a panelled soffit in 12 compartments, plus diagonal 'dragon beams' to the corner bays. Glazed screens have a central mullion, and a transom at the bracket springing height; wooden slatted seats are set to cast-iron scrolled brackets. One of 7 similar shelters (qv), maintained in good condition, this one is set back from the promenade edge, but formerly would have been at the edge, with its own railed balcony; the promenade has been extended here. The detail all appears to be original or carefully replaced; a small plate at the S end records the contractors' name.
