Bus Shelter (Bradshaw Park)

This hipped roof timber shelter was constructed by the Brisbane City Council circa the late 1940s to 1950s. It was built to the design of the “Standard Waiting Shelter – P.1008” drawn by the BCC Department of Works in 1946. This design was used by the BCC to provide shelter for members of the public at bus and tram stops. As a branch from the main Lutwyche Road tramline was built along Bradshaw and Thistle Streets during the interwar period, it is likely this shelter serviced a tram stop until the Brisbane trams stopped running in 1969. In later years, it has served as a bus shelter.The shelter has timber roof framing, clad in metal tiles with the appearance of terracotta.
