The bandstand at St Ann’s Well Gardens in Hove was built after large crowds came to listen to music in the park.

It is pictured here in 1928 and was one of several attractive features including the historic well house which gave the park its name.

But as crowds began to dwindle, the bandstand was swept away as changes were made to the gardens which were much regretted later.

The park was originally private gardens and gained fame at the end of the 19th century by being used as the location for early films.

It has been a public park for more than a century. Its attractions include a café, a children’s playground and a scented garden.
