An illustrated lecture prepared by Bro Robin Sharpe

Exactly 150 years ago the Princes Parade was being constructed.  This illustrated talk is about the development of the Royal Prince’s Parade and especially the Floral Pavilion where the final concert by Edwin Harper’s Orchestra was given thirty years ago in September 1986. The talk discusses many of the talented musicians who performed at the Floral Pavilion and recalls the thousands of visitors who enjoyed concerts there.
