Description

This late 19th-century shelter, located opposite the south end of Middlesex Road, is the most attractive of three surviving shelters from that period. It has a polygonal shape and features a series of columns that frame arches designed in an oriental style. The building itself is inset within these arches and displays decorated panels below, with windows above that feature heads of oriental pattern. It also has wide projecting eaves with cusped edges and a curved tiled roof.
