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.

The shelter has a rectangular plan and features slim cast-iron columns at the corners and centers of the long sides, most of which bear the foundry's marks. These columns are connected by wooden screens at each end and cruciform central screens. The round columns are topped with scroll capitals and each supports the roof beams with three sweeping foliate brackets. The roof is double-swept and emphatically ribbed, featuring a prominent ridge crest. Ogee gutters above the eaves cornice direct water discharge through the bases of the corner columns. The screens consist of tongue-and-groove lower panels and upper glazing panels, which are now unglazed and partially boarded with plywood.
