The kiosk before restoration. (West St.) |

Restored and relocated |
The former Shelter Hall kiosk at the bottom of West Street has been nicely restored and relocated to the bottom of East Street. A good job seems to have been made of the decorative cast-iron finial and cresting but, so far, the pendant frieze hasn't reappeared.
I am very glad you have raised this point. Only this morning I stood in front of the kiosk and wondered why it looked so disappointingly unlike the original, and of course it is the loss of the decorative cast iron frieze! I am guessing the reason was that it presented a risk to taller users, to which the riposte might be, why did you not raise the whole structure up a little to mitigate this risk? I hope we see its return. Andrew Doig
