Description
Octagonal single storey structure, sat on ashlar base to seaward side forming part of the sea wall. Rusticated coursed stone with slate pyramidal roof, lead ridging and finial. Shallow offset plinth, corbelled upper course. Main entrance to west (landward) face, doorway and windows with chamfered jambs and cusped stops. Reduced chimney to N (historic images show a 3 stage chimney reaching nearly the same height as the roof finial). Single narrow windows to SW, SE and NE faces, wide window with narrow glazing in fixed frame to S. Further doorway to E seaward face presumably leading onto the now lost pier. Remains of projecting steelwork visible below the plinth course on the 3 E faces, this would have formed part of the pier structure. Attached to the SE corner is a section of ashlar wall about 6m long that returns at its end to meet the sea wall. It has slots at either end and is topped by a later brick wall and railings. This now forms part of the sea wall but was presumably the landing stage of the pier. Later building attached to N not of special interest.
Single room with basement converted for shop and workshop use. Boarded walls and ceiling. Basement accessed by circular stair.
