"Bandstands of Britain" is a historical celebration of one of the best-loved features still found in many of our Victorian parks, open spaces, squares, and seaside towns. They are a reminder of a forgotten age of outdoor music and theater. They act as a lingering memory of the class and sophistication that prevailed in the Victorian age. This book celebrates the bandstand in Britain--showcasing the elaborate and iconic pieces of Victorian architecture for what they are. Beautiful full-color images are accompanied by a potted history of the evolution and devolution of the British bandstand.
