Description

The Central Bandstand, Herne Bay, Kent, England. The title "The new bandstand" suggests that the photograph was taken in 1925, a year after it was built.

Points of interest
  • The photographer probably used film instead of a large-format glass negative. The picture is in focus but there is no fine detail.
  • The deckchair boys, employed from 14 years old, can be seen in the centre aisle.
  • The bicycle-riders in the foreground are probably posed.
  • The notice over the proscenium arch above the stage says: "City of London Band (will play?) daily at 3.0 & 7.15". (Some sources wrongly state that this is the Buffs regiment, which did also play in Herne Bay).
  • In the band on the left are two sousaphones (see example here: File:Eis-Zwei-Geissebei IMG 8662.JPG)
