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:

Keith Burton replied to Günter Klaus:

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.

Keith Burton replied to Roger (Grisly):

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.

Wonderful to see them returned to their former glory to be enjoyed by generations to come, the lamps are gorgeous now all they can manage are bed pans on sticks
