Greenway Shelter in Sunnyhurst Wood

Shelter, 1912. Sandstone with iron roof structure and stone slate covering.

DESCRIPTION: octagonal structure with a conical stone slate roof comprising eight solid tooled and coursed stone columns with Tuscan-style capitals. The columns support a series of convex timber beams and eight radial joists support an octagonal king post with closely abutted rafters which show at the eaves. There is a perimeter stone kerb, now flush with the ground level. An inscription on the external face of one of the columns records the date August 1912 and the name of the benefactor in cursive script.
