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.
