The Pavilion, Esplanade, Ryde, Isle of Wight

This seaside pavilion was built 1926-7 by Vincent and West, using cast-iron stock patterns supplied by McFarlanes of Glasgow. This is an interesting example of a now rare survival of cast iron seaside architecture by a prominent firm well known for decorative work of this sort. Walter McFarlane's Saracen ironworks was Glasgow's biggest and most widely known foundry. It was founded in 1850.
