These are situated on the sea front at Southsea, Hampshire.They date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and have been Grade II listed for their artistic, architectural and historical interest. They have recently been restored. See the link for more details if you are interested: www.visitportsmouth.co.uk/blog/read/2025/01/the-restoration-of-southseas-historic-shelters-and-lamps-b129 I have a couple more photos, which I'll post in due course.

A cold day on the sea front at Southsea, Hampshire. The old Victorian shelters have a bench on each side, although no one seemed to be using them on this day. You can see South Parade Pier in the background. I was particularly impressed by the man balancing a flagpole on his head :-) Happy Bench Monday to you all. Thank you for all your visits, comments and/or yellow stars over the past week. Always appreciated. Have an enjoyable week ahead if you possibly can and take care!

Taken at the end of January when the average sea temperature was between 4.8C and 7.2C, this man had just finished a swim and was drying off in the shelter! I was wearing several layers of clothing plus a hat and gloves. It was very cold and the wind was icy. I know cold water swimming is supposed to be good for you.......but no thanks :-)) Happy Bench Monday everyone. Thank you to all of you who have visited my photo-stream over the past week especially if you've left a comment and\or a yellow star. Much appreciated. I hope you all have a good week!

A seaside shelter on the promenade at Worthing, West Sussex. Happy Bench Monday to you all. I hope you have a lovely week. Thank you to everyone who has visited my photo-stream over the past week or so, especially those who have left a comment or given me a yellow star. Take care, and stay safe :-)

One of the Victorian shelters on Southsea sea front in Hampshire. Looking slightly the worse for wear, but still performing a useful function.

With the Pier in the background.

Southsea Seafront. Definitely in need of a refurbishment............sadly there's no money left in the pot! Please view on black.

From my archives and originally posted in August 2011. This was taken in Clovelly, North Devon during one of the rare moments it stopped raining. Happy Bench Monday everyone. Enjoy your week. Best viewed large.........thanks for looking.
