This is another wooden slat bench, north of the Brighton Jetty. It is of mostly narrow wooden slats, but with one of moderate width, near the top of the backrest, where the Dedication Plaques are inset into the wood slat. There are four vertical narrow slats below the dedication slat, with a further two narrow slats above, which are at two different angle, effecting a curve. The seat part of the bench has nine narrow slats, and are all held in place by the cast metal seat-ends, which are curved to make it of a comfortable shape and design. The armrests are of bent/curved steel bar, with a circular curl near the thigh.

The seat is bolted to the concrete pavers of the Esplanade, behind brushed stainless steel tubing fencing that is above the rocky seawall. The cast bronze plaque on the left-hand side of the bench (with a textured black background) has been inset into the top 'vertical' slat of the backrest, and reads:


In Loving Memory of
Susanna (Lily) Shannon
Norn Ayr Scotland 28/11/17 Died Adelaide 7/3/09
Tak the Weight aff your Feet,
Sit doon and Enjoy the View

While, the right-hand inset plaque has a 'crazed' black background reads:

64 Years Young
Loved Husband of Pam
Loved Son of Lily & Robert
