Old Bandstand

This little building was used for many years as a bandstand for summer concerts in the park. It has been replaced by a larger stage but the original bulding is preserved here near the southern end of the stone bridge. I like this photo because of the hardy rhododendrons blooming though it is nearly mid-winter. I came across some other winter blossoms recently we'll have a look at next week.

  3. Wasn't this once used to house birds?

    When I first arrived here forty years ago, there was a birdcage in the park... think it housed finches and similar small birds.

  4. It's the colours of the structure that really catch my eye.

  5. @Mike - I seem to remember about the birds too - but it must have been like ten or fifteen years ago.
