Description
The Bandstand is a single-storey classical loggia raised above a substation basement. Rendered elevations with shallow hipped metal roof. Three-bay long and 2-bay short sides with round-headed arches having impost bands, keys and circular spandrel plaques. Entrance to the centre of the inward-facing (NW) long side. The remaining arches have cast-iron decorative mermaid panels to their lower halves.
Adjoining the bandstand to the E are the Hercules Steps. These consist of a long flight of broad, stone-flagged steps which descend in three straight flights down the hillslope. The steps terminate at a part-balustraded parapet wall with stepped waterfall below which overlooks Anchor and Fountain and the lawns in front of them.
