Description



WEYMOUTH

SY6879 ESPLANADE
873-1/21/165 (East side)
Promenade shelter opposite No.88
(No.88 not included)

GV II

Promenade shelter. Late C19. Erected by Bird and Cox,
contractors, Weymouth. Cast-iron and wood structure with
timber glazed panels, painted wood roof.
The low-pitched hipped roof has small gablets, and rich
cast-iron fretted embellishments 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 former lead-covered roof
has been replaced with a painted timber facsimile, including
rolls, otherwise the detail is original.
