Description
Three bus shelters, built around 1950, were likely designed to complement the former tram shelter and public toilets to the south, which were created by the Borough Engineer, David Edwards. These bus shelters feature reinforced concrete walls, metal columns, and glazing bars. Each shelter is a narrow, single-storey structure with a rectangular shape and rounded ends. The side facing the road is open for bus access, while the pavement side has glazed walls. The center shelter has three bays, and the outer two have four bays. All are designed in the International Style. The back walls have a low parapet topped with a glass wall set in steel glazing bars, which extends around the south end. The north end includes a flat-arched entrance, which is blocked in the southernmost shelter. Along the road-facing side, there is a plain lintel supported by thin metal columns that also serve as downspouts. The flat roof extends over the walls below and follows the overall lozenge-shaped plan.
