Promenade shelter opposite Bond
Street
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.
One of 7 similar shelters (qv), maintained in good condition.
This one, like most of them, is set back from the promenade
edge, but formerly would have been at the edge, with its own
railed balcony; the promenade has been later extended here.
The former lead-covered roof has been replaced with a painted
timber facsimile, including rolls, otherwise the detail is
original.
