Shelter on Queen's Promenade, Blackpool

The shelter on Queen's Promenade in Blackpool is a promenade structure, likely built before 1914 and relocated between 1931 and 1938. It was created by Walter MacFarlane and Co of the Saracen foundry in Glasgow.

This shelter has a rectangular plan and features slim cast-iron columns at the corners, which are connected by wooden screens at each end and an axial screen running north-south. The round columns have plain capitals and are adorned with two foliate brackets in an open arabesque pattern, although two of these brackets are missing. These brackets support the roof beams. The roof is swept and has a spine roll-ridge, with ogee gutters mounted on plain fascias. The screens include a dado with a rectangular decorative panel and upper glazing panels that are currently unglazed and partially boarded with plywood.

The design of the brackets corresponds to type 39 found on page 644 of a MacFarlanes catalogue from around 1890.
