This is the view of Worthing Lido, from the pier. Best enjoyed early in the morning when there aren’t many people around.
I have particularly enjoyed drawing this scene and paying a lot of attention to the detail.
In 1897 an elegant birdcage bandstand was built west of Worthing Pier and for nearly thirty years holidaymakers and residents enjoyed numerous band concerts performed there.
Then in 1907 a shelter was erected between the bandstand and beach to provide seating for promenaders to enjoy the music in comfort.
The bandstand was demolished in 1925 and replaced with a D-shaped Band Enclosure (now a grade 2 Listed building).
