This is the one I can remember, near to the children’s play area not at the other side near to the School which their was a lot of debate about.

Me too, Brian. We used to shin up a tree behind the stage, then a leap/scramble onto the roof, then crawl to the edge & look down.....just for a dare!!

I'd be about 6 or 7 SCARY!! thinking about it now!

It must be something in the water in Hebburn we all did stupid things that you'd be horrified if you're kids did it.

There was a lot of debate on this site some time ago about the position of the Bandstand, I always recall it as being close to the footpath leading to the children’s play area whilst others insisted it was at the opposite side of the field near to the School. My memory has been proved right on this occasion

Mac do you know it was taken down, was it disrepair, or was it decided to remove it and replace it with the Dene stage.

Brian, The stage in the Dene was also there at the time, I am talking about the late 40s early 50s, It would appear that the Bandstand was moved for some reason further across the field but I have no idea when !

I was a regular visitor to the park from the early 1960s but cannot remember the bandstand.
