I recently posted a picture of the Canopy covering the seat in the Market Place.
Kaz asked if the Bradford & Bingley, visible in the background, was still going. It is and as far as I know the B&B is still a building society. This picture which shows the whole seat is taken from outside the B&B and now we have the Halifax in the background. That used to be a building society but is now a bank.
The seat itself is relatively modern and not actually attached to the shelter, so it is quite probable that the latter was originally a tram-stop shelter, but perhaps not quite in its present location.

nice blog... cool to see other places and some info about them :)
Very art déco this canopy. Lovely!
Looks so friendly and inviting.
Funnily enough I saw B&B only a few days later. I may go and check them out as I'm fed up with banks - especially the one beginning with B that took over The Woolwich.
I love this shelter - nice enough to eat your sandwich on a sunny day. Or would the smokers congregate there?
I'd not noticed that the seat was not a part of it, and I have sat on there many times.
It is a very good seat to 'people watch' from. My only complaint is that sometimes theres an awful cooking smell from that equally awful 'Gabbatts'.
looks good ;o]
Hi Hyde,
Double benches, good for when there's not enough space, I like that design,when it was a Tram-stop shelter...
I'm just wondering :) when you're sitting on the wrong site,... You'll probably miss the tram :) haha!
Greetings JoAnn from Holland :)
What a charming shelter. Wish they were everywhere. Unfortunately, many of our bus stops lack shelters, so waiting for a ride sometimes involves standing in the rain or snow. Bless the shelter builders!
