From this understanding of the heritage significance of the place, a discussion of the key issues relating to the site and a set of policies have been produced to guide future use, development and management of the building and its various parts. These enable the significance to be retained, revealed, enhanced or, at least, impaired as little as possible in the future. They will not simply suggest constraints on future action, but will introduce flexibility by identifying the areas of the site which can be adapted or developed. In summary, Kelvingrove Park Bandstand and Amphitheatre is a category B listed building located on Kelvin Way, Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. The bandstand building and its amphitheatre and original pay-boxes were built at the same time, after designs of 1924, and the secondary pay-boxes on Kelvin Way, begun after designs of 1925. All four of the pay-boxes were demolished after the 1960s and the pair on Kelvin Way rebuilt in brick, reusing some of the original masonry elements. The bandstand was closed in the late 1990s and became derelict and vandalised. The building is important for its social, historical and aesthetic associations. The overall level of significance for the building is considerable, but with a number of features being of moderate and neutral significance. Elements of considerable significance should be retained and respected as part of any future redevelopment of the building, but can be altered sensitively. It would be beneficial for the overall significance of the building if negative elements were removed.

It is important that it is also adopted by all other stakeholders and consultants to aid in the sensitive and appropriate management and use of this historic building. 2.6 Limitations It is possible that further information will become available after the completion of this report. Any new information should be acknowledged by the stakeholders and incorporated into future revisions of the conservation management plan. 2.7 Project Team John Sanders Partner, Simpson & Brown Architects Nicholas Uglow Architectural historian, Simpson & Brown Architects 2.8 Acknowledgements Simpson & Brown gratefully acknowledges the assistance provided by the following: The Friends of Kelvingrove Park The Royal Commission on the Ancient & Glasgow Building Preservation Trust Historic Monuments of Scotland The Mitchell Library, Glasgow Shona Simpson Page\Park Architects All photographs (January 2012) and drawings in this report are by the authors unless stated. 2.9 Abbreviations GBPT – Glasgow Building Preservation RCAHMS – Royal Commission on the Trust Ancient & Historical Monuments of Scotland NLS – National Library of Scotland S&B – Simpson & Brown Architects OS – Ordnance Survey 8 Kelvingrove Park Bandstand and Amphitheatre Conservation management plan Figure 8 View of west (principal) elevation from the amphitheatre.

This land was to the east of the River Kelvin, around the foot of Woodlands Hill, which was being developed simultaneously by Wilson (Figure 11).

  • The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
    The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation.

Follow the Band: Community Brass Bands in the Scottish Borders Gillian French Doctor of Philosophy University of Edinburgh 2014 Abstract This thesis presents research into the history and contemporary context of brass bands in the Scottish Borders. It discusses how the survival of the brass bands in the Scottish Borders can be accounted for over the last 150 years, in particular with regard to the continuity of their interaction with the community which has enabled them to overcome cultural, social and demographic changes. The textile industry which provided a stimulus for the formation of the brass bands in the nineteenth century has largely disappeared, but the traditional role of the bands has been carried forward to the present day. Previous study of the social and cultural history of the brass band movement has concentrated on the history of brass banding in the North of England.

  • Report Of: for Decision Director of Open Spaces
    Committee: Date: Open Spaces & City Gardens 16 July 2018 Subject: Public Finsbury Circus Garden – Bandstand Removal Report of: For Decision Director of Open Spaces Summary There has been a bandstand at Finsbury Circus Garden since 1955, and this feature has been relatively unaffected by Crossrail’s construction work within the garden. As Crossrail’s work nears completion, preparation is underway to reinstate the garden landscape and refreshment building, and concept designs are being prepared. This report sets out the background to, and evidence for, not including a bandstand within the reinstated landscape at Finsbury Circus. As this conflicts with a previous instruction from your Committee, Members are asked to reconsider their original decision, on the basis of aesthetics, competition for space, cost of maintenance, unfitness for purpose and lack of heritage value. Recommendation Members are asked to: Agree that the Finsbury Circus bandstand should not be included in the design proposals for the new landscape, but that other locations within and without the Square Mile should be considered before disposal. Main Report Background 1. Since 2010, part of Finsbury Circus Garden has been used by Crossrail as a worksite for the construction of the Elizabeth Line. Some garden features that would have sat inside Crossrail’s work compound, such as the listed drinking fountain, were put into storage until they could be reinstated following completion of tunnelling works. Other features, such as the bandstand, sat outside of the hoarding and so were relatively unaffected by the works (N.B. some settlement cracking has occurred across the site, including to the structure of the bandstand, although it is accepted that this should be repaired as part of the outstanding settlement claim from Crossrail).
