This Gazebo,raised above the surrounding ground in Talbot Memorial Park, and accessed by four stone steps is used as a bandstand, it is in fair condition considering its age. The performing platform is surrounded by wrought iron railings. The roof is metal sheeting, scalloped and riveted at the joins. topped with a weather vane.

I wonder how many of this pattern of bandstand were produced for councils around the country ?
