About

A historic shelter in Monton, this structure is locally referred to as the "Old Man’s Shelter" and has long been a meeting spot for pensioners. It gained significance through the efforts of Alderman Edith Boddan, who advocated for improved community spaces for older residents, leading to the creation of Boddan Lodge nearby. The shelter remains a notable landmark, reflecting its role in the area’s social history.

My Nan , Alderman Edith Boddan used to sit here with fellow pensioners, but then fought to have Boddan Lodge built as a warm , welcoming place for the pensioners to meet..Proud of what she did for the inhabitants of Monton and the area...
