Shelter Facing The End Of Ship Street

This is a promenade shelter located at the end of Ship Street in Brighton, built around 1883 to 1887. The structure is made of cast iron and wood, with a metal roof. It features six cast-iron columns, each with four brackets attached to the 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 enclosed 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 with two on each side facing north and south, and 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.
