Southsea Seafront Shelters

Southsea Seafront Shelters
Following on from the image I posted on 8th March, here are another couple of shots of the restored, Grade II listed, Victorian era shelters on Southsea Seafront. Please check out the PiP as well.


They have recently been restored. See the link for more details if you are interested:

I think they're really quite special Güni and I'm pleased you like them as well. When summer arrives it will be impossible to get a decent shot of them, so I'm glad I got these early.

Thanks for your kind comments as always...........and have a pleasant evening. Best wishes, Keith.

Cheers Roger...............much appreciated. They've done a superb restoration job on them.

They been doing a lot of work (some of which is still ongoing) to improve the look of the seafront and at the same time update the sea defences. It's very impressive.

A very interesting report on the elaborate restoration of the shelters. Fabulously presented jewels of the promenade. This view takes you back to another era of glamorous strolling along the promenade.
