Promenade Shelter Approximately 55 Metres North Of The Jubilee Clock Tower

The promenade shelter, located approximately 55 metres north of the Jubilee Clock Tower in Weymouth, dates from the late 19th century. It is constructed of cast iron and wood, featuring timber glazed panels and a lead-covered wooden roof. The low-pitched hipped roof includes small gablets and is adorned with intricate decorative cast-iron details along the ridge and eaves on all sides. This open-sided shelter consists of two bays supported by three pairs of slender turned wooden columns, which are complemented by cast-iron fretted brackets. The ceiling is made up of a grid of moulded beams and a panelled soffit divided into twelve compartments, with diagonal 'dragon beams' in the corner bays.

The glazed screens feature a central mullion and a transom at the height where the brackets spring. Wooden slatted seats are attached to cast-iron brackets, although the seat on the northern side has been removed. This shelter is one of seven similar structures in the area and is well-maintained. It is set back from the edge of the promenade, which has been widened, but it would have originally been positioned at the edge with its own railed balcony. All details of the shelter appear to be original, and there are no surviving founder's or contractor's plates.
