Seafront shelter, Cleveleys

I took this photograph in 2007 as extensive work was being undertaken on the sea-wall and defences at Cleveleys, Lancashire. As well as renewing and raising the wall that separated the beach from the both the promenade and road, a number of futuristic lights were being installed (see left). A further addition was circular shelters that also had a look of "tomorrow's world" about them, but were also redolent of the 1930s. More photographs of this striking design work can be seen here and here.
