An historic seaside shelter at a Welsh beauty spot has been rebuilt at a cost of £100,000. The new structure is in place of the previous shelter, originally built in 1890, on Cliff Hill in Penarth.
A public consultation held in March 2021 saw residents put forward their ideas for the much-loved shelter. Different ideas were suggested for the future of the structure but many residents in the Vale of Glamorgan did not want it to be altered. One resident said: "Retain the original structure. Retain the history.”
Residents were keen to support the re-commissioning of the shelter once plans were submitted. The Vale of Glamorgan Council decided to keep the shelter as a place for people to sit in all weather and maintained original features where possible.
