#Bandstand

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

This is the Alexander Hamilton Memorial Park Bandstand in Stonehouse in Lanarkshire. Why am I posting a photo of it here? That's because it started life as one of two bandstands erected in Kelvingrove Park for the 1911 Glasgow International Exhibition. As far as I can work out, it was sited near the banks of the River Kelvin pretty close to the location of the current bandstand.

The handsome bandstand in Saughton Park walled gardens was birthed in the Lion Foundry, not far from where I grew up, and where some older relatives had worked.

Delighted to see it restored & looking beautiful to all who promenade there, a tribute to the men who sweated out the work of a now long-gone foundry & were rightly proud of their hard work.
