Promenade shelter. Late C19. Castings by Jeffreys,
Westminster. Cast-iron and wood structure with timber glazed
panels, and 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 is set back from the promenade edge, but formerly
would have been at the edge, with its own railed balcony; the
promenade has been widened here. The former lead roof has been
replaced with a painted timber facsimile, including rolls,
otherwise the detail is original. A small cast plate at the S
end records: 'J JEFFREYS/ ....& CAST IRON/ 10 GREAT QUEEN
STREET/ WESTMINSTER'.
