The Bandstand on Arnold Circus
Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 23 May 2012
Arnold Circus is at the centre of the Boundary Estate, built 1890-1900, which replaced a notorious slum district. It is thought to be the first example of a local authority housing scheme in the country. Wikipedia has a full history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_Estate which doesn't however reveal who Arnold was.
