Constructed c1925 as part of improvements to the seafront along the promenade. The shelter was constructed on the site of the former Bath House (demolished 1892) and is present in 1927 photographs. A further similar but smaller shelter was located further south along the promenade opposite 9 Marine Terrace but this was demolished January 2011

Entablature with brackets and overhanging eaves. Low simple benches within each bay. Guttering, ridge capping and plain ridge finials.  

 

Included for its special architectural interest as a rare example of a seafront building significant for its historic interest as part of the development of the seafront and reflecting the importance of the town as a seaside resort. Group value with other listed buildings on the promenade.
