Shelter Opposite Marine Square

The shelter opposite Marine Square in Brighton is a promenade shelter built around 1883 to 1887. It is constructed from cast iron and wood, with a metal roof. The structure features six cast-iron columns, each with four brackets attached to their upper parts. The two inner columns are positioned closer together, allowing their brackets to touch and create a round arch, with openwork spandrels.

The shelter is framed with tongue-and-groove panelling up to about three feet high, topped with renewed glazed panels. Inside, there are wooden benches, likely original to the shelter, arranged two on each side facing north and south, along with smaller seats on brackets at either end facing east and west. The underside of the roof is panelled, and the roof itself is hipped with louvred gablets.
