The image is a black and white photograph of Central Morecambe & New Brighton Shelter, No. 12. It appears to be taken from a high vantage point, looking down on the beach and the pier. The pier is visible in the background, with a large white building with a dome-shaped roof and a clock tower on top. There are several boats on the water near the pier, and a few people can be seen walking along the shore.

In the foreground, there is a small gazebo with a sign that reads "Central Morecombe and New Brighton Shelters" and a horse-drawn carriage. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
