1. Title: A Gathering at the Bandstand: Harris Promenade, Douglas, Isle of Man (1907) 2. Description: This evocative photograph captures a lively scene at Harris Promenade in Douglas, Isle of Man, in the year 1907. The promenade, with its picturesque seafront, has long been a popular resort destination, attracting visitors from far and wide. In this image, a large crowd has gathered around the Bandstand, eagerly anticipating a performance by the Pierrots. 3. The Bandstand, located centrally in the photograph, is a grand, open-air structure with a distinctive domed roof and ornate columns.
