Description
The structure is a promenade shelter located opposite the end of Western Street in Brighton, built around 1883 to 1887. It is constructed from metal and wood, featuring a roof made of copper. The shelter is supported by six moulded metal columns, each with four brackets attached to their upper parts. The two inner columns are positioned closer together, allowing their brackets to touch and form a round arch, with openwork spandrels on the brackets.
The shelter is framed with tongue-and-groove panelling up to about one metre high, topped with renewed glazed panels. Inside, there are wooden benches, likely original to the shelter, positioned between the columns, with two benches on each side facing north and south. Additionally, there are small benches on brackets at either end, facing east and west. The underside of the roof is panelled, and the roof itself is half-hipped.
