Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, Derbyshire, England

When you use a name like the Pavilion Gardens, there needs to be a pavilion somewhere and there is a photo of the Octagon elsewhere in the album. Here is a view of some of the buildings adjoining it. At the right and taking up must of the built-up space in this scene is the 1000-seater Buxton Opera House, opened in 1905 during Buxton's heyday as a spa resort. Like many of Buxton's buildings dating from that period, it has enjoyed a recent refurbishment. It remains active today and hosts and the internationally famous Buxton Festival of Music and the Arts every July.
