 The bandstand (as in the 1924 season of the BEE). For the second (1925) season, the site was remodelled as 'Treasure Island' and where, I believe, a rather uncomfortable looking King George V and Queen Mary were captured on newsreel film, riding the Bassett-Lowke miniature railway. |

| This building and the one at an angle behind it, were restaurant and catering buildings constructed for the BEE. Both buildings remain and have been repurposed for retail and light industrial use. |

| The BEE dancehall. Adjacent and behind it (to the west), is its associated refreshment room. Although the dancehall was an early casualty after the BEE closed, I believe that the refreshment room still exists and now used for other purposes. |
