Erected in 1998 as an exact replica of the original (melted down for scrap during the Second World War), which was one of a pair designed in 1861 by Captain Francis Fowke for the Royal Horticultural Society in South Kensington. That site is now occupied by the Royal Albert Hall, also designed by Capt Fowke. The pair were bought by the then London County Council, the other being erected in Peckham Rye Park. https://www.dorothearestorations.com/case-studies/congleton-bandstand
