The bandstand is situated on an esplanade  known locally as 'the lookout' 
as the wives and families of the fishermen would look out to sea 
from the esplanade and await the safe return of their loved ones. 


 About the bandstand 
...in july 1897, the Commissioners invited tenders for a 'metal band stand of octagon shape, with an iron roof but without a ceiling'...
