Kiosk To East Of Former Brown Bear Pit At Dudley Zoo

PLAN: The kiosk is elliptical on plan, with an open section to allow access, and a cross wall on the axis; a short, low wall extends to the north-east.

MATERIALS: Reinforced concrete, with metal columns.

EXTERIOR: The kiosk is a single storey in height, its roof raised slightly from the wall top on slender columns. The elliptical canopy roof extends well beyond the footprint of the building on all sides, providing shelter for queuing visitors. The serving area to the front has a lower wall with a wide capping for use as a counter; at the same height on the exterior of the full-height end and rear wall a depressed band continues around the building.

INTERIOR: The internal space is divided to allow display space at the rear, which is fitted with timber shelving on metal brackets; the lattice front of the display space and the access door to the north have been removed, though the openings remain unaltered.
