Description
Cheetham Park Shelter is a park shelter built in 1884. It features a hexagonal plan and a flared conical roof topped with an apex weather vane, supported by six cast-iron columns. The roof's verge has timber fascia boards with blind arcaded panels attached to the ends of the rafters. It is clad in alternating bands of plain-cut and fish-scale slates from Westmorland and Wales. The columns have fluted pedestals, round-profile shafts, and bowl-shaped capitals adorned with flower motifs and handle brackets. These columns support clamp-plates that carry the purlins and principal rafters. The purlins are arranged with a moulded cornice set between the rafters, which rise to a braced hexagonal roof structure featuring a central drop pendant. Each panel of the roof has an exposed canted timber board lining.
