EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR showcases the elegant Weymouth pier bandstand, captured in all its glory around 1939. The image transports us back to a bygone era when this iconic structure stood proudly on Weymouth's picturesque coastline. Built by Christiani Neilson, renowned for their architectural prowess, this Art Deco masterpiece was a testament to their innovative design sensibilities. The photograph focuses on the seaward portion of the bandstand, which exudes an air of grandeur and sophistication. Its sleek lines and geometric patterns are characteristic of the Art Deco style that was popular during that period. One can only imagine the vibrant music performances and joyous gatherings that took place within these walls. Sadly, time has taken its toll on this historic landmark. In 1986, much to our collective dismay, this part of the bandstand was demolished. However, we can still appreciate its enduring legacy through photographs like these. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a poignant reminder of both architectural brilliance and fleeting beauty. It invites us to reflect on how structures shape our cultural heritage and reminds us to cherish those remnants that have withstood the test of time. Let this image transport you back in time to an era where music filled the airwaves and people gathered under ornate roofs for moments of shared enjoyment at Weymouth's magnificent pier bandstand.
