General notes

The photograph shows the base of the bandstand in 1929. It was originally erected in Peel Street in 1913 as the stand used when King George V and Queen Mary visited Accrington. After the event, it was removed to the park and used as a bandstand to replace the original bandstand which had been given by Joseph Duxbury. The original bandstand was then used as an aviary. The canopy of the 1913 stand had been removed some years before the photograph was taken. Prior to the First World War, all the panels around the top carried the names of great composers.
