Seaside shelter, 145 metres north-west of The Spa in South Cliff Gardens

This seaside shelter, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, was designed by F A and S Tugwell for the Cliff Bridge Company. It is located 145 metres north-west of The Spa in South Cliff Gardens, offering views east towards the sea over the Cleveland Way. The shelter is accessed by four stone steps from the promenade footpath leading between the rear bridge of The Spa and Cliff Bridge.

The structure is rectangular, with two short retaining walls. It is a timber-framed building with moulded principal uprights that form ten framed bays to the front (east) and two bays to the left (south) and right (north) returns. The rear (west) elevation is constructed from red brick, with rendered, shaped brick walls on either side. The front elevation features a central entrance flanked by projecting gabled viewing bays. The lower posts and rails of the front elevation are plain, with lattice fencing in the end bays, and the upper part has tall chamfered Tudor arched openings, currently without glazing. The side returns mirror this design, but incorporate lower vertical hit and miss boarding. The shelter has overhanging eaves, supported by shaped brackets, and a rosemary tiled Dutch gable roof. The front roof plane includes two small east-facing gables above the projecting bays, featuring trefoil arched fascia boards, panelled soffits and half-timber panelling.

The interior consists of tongue and groove timber panelling on the rear wall and lower principal uprights of the front and end walls. A continuous, fixed low bench runs around the walls, with shaped wooden dividers. The ceiling is a closed vault that mirrors the trefoil arched gable fascia boards and is panelled with decorative horizontal beams. The floor is red tiled. It is unclear whether the external wooden plank benches have been retained.
