Winterstoke sun shelter and rock gardens, Listed sun shelter and rock gardens on Victoria Parade, Ramsgate, England.
The Winterstoke features a semi-circular colonnade carved into a recess, with a central circular pool positioned above the main shelter structure.
Dame Janet Stancomb-Wills presented these ornamental gardens to the Borough of Ramsgate in 1920, with the official opening ceremony taking place in June 1923.
The site represents an exemplar of early twentieth-century garden design, incorporating the specialized Pulhamite construction material throughout its structural elements.
The gardens remain open to public access, featuring broad steps leading to an upper terrace where visitors find the main landscaped areas.
Two original sculpture works by Gilbert Bayes depicting children playing with the Ram of Ramsgate were once displayed inside the shelter.
