SY6878NW ESPLANADE 873-1/24/161 (East side) Promenade shelter opposite Edwardes Statue

GV II

Promenade shelter. Late C19. Cast iron and wood structure with timber glazed panels, painted 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. Cantilevered from the promenade over the beach is a corresponding balcony in 4x1 bays, with cast-iron standards to scrolled stays, and 2 horizontal rails, returned at the ends, and on a structure of cast-iron beams and fill. 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 S of the group. The former lead-covered roof has been replaced with a painted timber facsimile, including rolls, otherwise the detail is original.
