No sorry, just took that one to show how HBC had left the site after the fire, we used to have a band stand as well, where bands used to perform in the summer, but that suffered the same fate as the pavilion. The park is now an utter disgrace, when it rains heavy the water comes over and through the park wall. Even the park gates are chained closed because the hinges are damaged. A few months ago the yobs even pushed off the stones on top of the gate posts on the fielding lane entrance. The lass that works in the park has been told not to do anything in the area at the back of the park, there was talk of HBC selling it off
