Bandstand Ups and Downs

Despite showing its mettle by surviving the 'great storm' of 2014, plans for a new Bandstand at Aberystwyth have remained on the cards (the initial design didn't go down very well).

Work finally started in January this year, and by February its demolition was all but complete - just cutting through that pesky ironwork . . .


It does seem to have been a very long build - although at least there are signs of progress, unlike Tesco, which still hasn't made it above ground yet for various reasons (drainage / buried fuel tanks / etc.)!

It appears to be more or less there now (and the new design is looking good) - but I'm not holding my breath for the promised completion by Christmas!
