Description
The Bandstand is an octagonal iron structure dating from around 1900, which has been re-erected in its current location. It features eight slim columns with wrought iron railings in between, and scrolled ironwork that forms segmental arches beneath the roof. There is additional ornamental cresting above the eaves and at the crown, with a small beaten metal plaque on each face and iron flowers. A scrolled iron vane sits on top.
