Description

West Shelter is a park shelter built in 1870, likely designed by Lockwood and Mawson. It features hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and a wooden entrance surround, topped with a Welsh blue slate roof. The structure includes pilaster strips adorned with carved floral decoration and a moulded cornice. Between the pilasters are three wooden arches that have drop finials and cusped roundels in the spandrels. The roof is hipped. This shelter is part of the model village of Saltaire.

It experiences an average of 46 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 88% of listed buildings. Of these, 26 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
