Pier Bandstand, Art Deco bandstand in Weymouth Bay, England
The Pier Bandstand extends over Weymouth Bay with a seaward section that provided seating for 2,400 people and featured a partially covered roof structure.
The structure, designed by V J Wenning, opened on May 25, 1939, after construction using 3,000 tons of concrete and 180 tons of steel.
During the 1950s and 1960s, the venue hosted numerous band concerts, open-air dancing events, roller skating sessions, and Miss Weymouth competitions.
The seaward section underwent demolition in 1986 due to high repair costs, while the landward building now contains an Italian restaurant and amusement arcade.
The demolition event in April 1986 attracted thousands of spectators, with subsequent reports of structure remnants visible rising from the water.
