Question 21

The shelter on the headland

An original account of an invented weather-station inspection.

The weather station had not been visited for several years. Its wooden shelter leaned towards the fence, and rain had entered through gaps in the roof. One hinge had broken, strips of paint curled from the door and several boards had begun to rot.

The inspector described the shelter as dilapidated. She warned that the instruments would have to be removed before the weakened structure could be repaired.

In this passage, explain the meaning of “dilapidated”.
