Bus Shelter 45 Metres North Of Footbridge

This bus shelter, located 45 metres north of the footbridge in Stannington, was built in 1937 by Laurence Whistler. It features wood construction on a squared stone plinth and has a Lakeland slate roof. The central opening is flanked by Tuscan pilasters, and the date is inscribed in Roman numerals on the lintel between two opposed Rs. The walls are horizontally panelled, and there is a moulded eaves cornice. The roof is swept hipped. On the left side, there is an iron-framed casement window with radial and concentric glazing bars set under a round arch. This shelter is one of a pair given to the village by Lord Ridley to commemorate the coronation of King George VI.
