Shelter on Queen's Promenade, Blackpool

The shelter on Queen's Promenade in Blackpool is a cast-iron structure built in 1904 and relocated between 1924 and 1930. It was created by the Lion Foundry Company of Kirkintilloch, near Glasgow.

This shelter has a rectangular plan and features slim cast-iron columns at the corners and the centers of the long sides, most of which bear the Lion Foundry marks. The columns are linked by screens at each end and have cruciform central screens. Each round column is topped with scroll capitals and supports three sweeping foliate brackets that hold up the roof beams. The roof is double-swept with prominent ribs and a distinctive ridge crest. Ogee gutters are positioned above the eaves cornice and discharge water at the foot of the corner columns. The screens consist of tongue-and-groove lower panels and upper glazing panels, which are currently unglazed and partially boarded in plywood.
