Ghostly Band Music
Western Lawns Bandstand, Hove
Western Lawns in Hove was once home to a beautiful bandstand where people would gather to enjoy live music. But after it fell into disrepair and before the area was redeveloped in 1968, something strange started to happen. People would still hear music coming from the abandoned bandstand, even though it was no longer in use. It was as if the music had become a ghostly presence, lingering long after the bandstand itself had been left to decay.
