WEST PIER – THE BAND STANDS c. 1876

Not long after the Pier was opened, the primitive bandstand, which was little better than a raised wooden platform, was found to be quite inadequate, so about 1875 an enclosure, seen in the above photograph, was built on the main seaward decking. This lasted for many years, being removed only when the pavilion (later the Theatre) was built in 1893.
