Folkestone, The Leas Bandstand 1901

The Leas bandstand was
built in 1885. A large
crowd has gathered to
hear the band, including
the lady in the invalid
carriage in the centre
of the photograph.
Further on, people are
promenading. When
Folkestone was one of the
top seaside resorts, people
of fashion would stay at
the resort and parade in
the morning so as to see
and be seen.
