Description

The building is a promenade shelter located at the end of Oriental Place in Brighton, dating from around 1883 to 1887. It is constructed from cast iron and wood, with a metal roof. The shelter 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 the brackets adorned with openwork spandrels.

The space between the columns is framed with tongue-and-groove panelling up to about three feet high, topped with renewed glazed panels. Inside, there are wooden benches, likely from the same period as 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, featuring louvred gablets.
