Bandstand

Popped into Harrogate today as I had left my wash bag at home 350 miles away so needed to stick up. We decided to pop in for a coffee but everywhere was either fully booked up or closed down. One the way around a very wet dull skies Harrogate trying to find a coffee shop I came across this old bandstand.

A little information about Harrogate

Harrogate (/ˈhærəɡət, -ɡeɪt, -ɡɪt/ HARR-ə-gət, -⁠gayt, -⁠ghit)[1] is a spa town and the administrative centre of the Borough of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, England. Historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, the town is a tourist destination and its visitor attractions include its spa waters and RHS Harlow Carr gardens. 13 miles (21 km) away from the town centre is the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the Nidderdale AONB. Harrogate grew out of two smaller settlements, High Harrogate and Low Harrogate, in the 17th century. For three consecutive years (2013–2015), polls voted the town as "the happiest place to live" in Britain.[2][3][4]
Great structure. I went to Harrogate 33 years ago and other than the weather being exceptionally hot I remember Betty’s tea rooms.

Good shot- the bandstand looks just as stately and historical as one would expect in that region.

A pleasing shot of this lovely structure just opposite the railway station. Harrogate is a lovely place to explore, with lots of interesting architecture.
