Description

The promenade shelter, located opposite the west end of the open air baths in Lytham St Annes, was likely built between 1890 and 1914. It is constructed from cast iron, wood, and glass, featuring a felted roof. The shelter has a rectangular layout with benches arranged back-to-back along the long sides and at both ends, separated by wooden and glazed screens. The structure is supported by sets of cast-iron columns, with five columns at each end, which frame the partitions. The roof is wide, hipped, and has a pronounced sweep, adorned with ornamental cresting along the eaves and ridge, as well as corner finials. This shelter is one of a matching pair located approximately 50 meters apart.
