The Brighton bandstand is the sole survivor of the many bandstands from the Victorian era:
It is the sole survivor of the dozen bandstands which graced the parks and promenades of Brighton and Hove in Victorian times. They fell out of favour in the 1960s when traffic noise began to drown out the music, but this one, sometimes called The Birdcage because of its delicate ironwork, has been restored by local heritage enthusiasts *

I visited a lot of the old bandstands, and even now Brighton’s is my favourite. The design and decoration are stunning, and the location is perfect for views.
I think it is the location with its views that make this bandstand stand out
Its great news it was restored. It looks a lovely building.
It is beautiful
So romantic, right?
Would make a great place to propose.
Well it was our Silver Wedding anniversary holiday
