St John’s in New Brunswick, Canada is the home of this small park and bandstand. The King Edward VII Memorial Bandstand, with its copper roof and its filigree metal framework, was constructed in 1908 as a gift to the city – donated by the City Cornet Band. It quickly became a favourite location for musical interludes in King’s Square. Restored in 2013, this beloved Saint John landmark still hosts concerts during the summer months. HBM, enjoy the week.

Seen on the end of a big old warehouse in the seaport city of St John, New Brunswick, Canada. I think It is showing the re-building of the town after the Great Urban Fire’ of 1877 that destroyed two-fifths of the city. Most of the wooden city by the water was gutted leaving only the brick buildings and making 13,000 people homeless. It destroyed 200 acres and 1612 structures HWW, have a great day.
