The original Bandstand was manufactured in 1899 by Walter McFarlane & Co, of the Saracen Foundry, Glasgow, (item no 224 in their catalogue of iron goods.) Similar models were cast for many equally affluent towns up and down 19th century Britain. During restoration, amongst other things, ‘Lost Art’ discovered that under the 150 years’ worth of Paint, some cast iron sections were so badly corroded that the ironwork had deteriorated beyond repair. Those parts had to be copied, by casting identical sections, involving painstaking construction of replica moulds. Talking to camera, the restorers at ‘Lost Art’ expressed their enormous admiration for the men who manufactured the original pieces, and their own great pleasure in using their skills to restore and where needed, reproduce matching pieces.
