Ghandi's Temple.

This shelter and lavatories was built for people using the sands and is known locally as Gandhi’s Temple. Opened 19th September 1931. Almost no change has occurred to the building throughout its life apart from the removal of seating and partitions from the upper storey which led to the assumption it was a bandstand. Information from 2015 ahead of conversion to arestaurant. Architect James Paton Watson.
