Crossing the threshold brings you into a lofty hall articulated by tall brick and blockwork piers.
Brickwork in particular was meticulously planned, with courses of headers and stretchers differentiated, and corbelled piers or rubbing-strips developed in both elevation and section.
The benches encircled two of the piers and stretched between two others.
In addition to this water penetration, condensation occurred at windows, brick piers and perimeter concrete upstand beams owing to cold bridging.
Between 1880 and 1914, officials in seaside destinations vied with one another in building ever larger piers to support the increasing number of holiday-makers.
A large wind-chime hammock sculpture was suspended from a woven canoe-like roof structure lashed to the pier's end.
The entrance is marked by a rotation of the piers in plan through 90 degrees and by a bridge over a basement void.
The original floor of the main room was supported on 22 brick piers rising from the basement.
