Promenade shelter to east of No.135

GV II

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.
