Promenade shelter opposite Lowther
Pavilion

II

Promenade shelter. Probably c.1900, slightly altered.
Cast-iron, painted brown and yellow ochre, with hipped wooden
felt-clad roof. Rectangular 2-bay double-sided plan with
longitudinal partition. Single storey. The structure has a
frame of slender cast-iron columns at the corners and in the
centre of each side, with fluted bases and debased Greek
Corinthian capitals, and ornamental open-work cast-iron
brackets to the beams and the eaves. The end walls and central
partition are formed of cast-iron panels in the lower half,
with moulded decoration (flowers, etc), and arcades of
round-headed arches in the upper half; and the partition has
low scrolled brackets to support the wooden benches on each
side. An interesting survival, redolent of the Edwardian
seaside holiday.
