Description
This is a shelter located opposite No. 30 Promenade in Southport, likely built around 1913. It was manufactured by David King & Son in Glasgow and supplied by William Robson, an ironmonger in Southport. The structure is made of cast iron and glass, topped with a lead-clad roof.
The shelter has an H-plan layout beneath a rectangular roof and is a single storey. It features cast-iron columns with crocket capitals and elaborate foliated brackets supporting the roof. The dado consists of solid panels adorned with Art Nouveau motifs, while the glazed screens have iron glazing bars that radiate in the overlights. The roof is swept, and there are wooden slatted benches in the side and end bays.
This shelter is part of a group of similar structures along the Promenade.
