Rain storm incoming….one of the few remaining original Edwardian cast-iron shelters along Blackpool’s promenade. Commissioned by the Blackpool Corporation, these were built between 1903 and 1904 by the Saracen Foundry of Walter MacFarlane and Co of Glasgow and the Lion Foundry Company of Kirkintilloch.
These historic shelters feature intricate cast-iron frames with decorative details and wooden accents and the structures are designated as Grade II listed buildings, but unfortunately may currently show scars from attempted roof lead theft.
