Behind the monument is the Jubilee Cafeteria, which opened on 12th June 1977, together with the new Bandstand. This more modern structure replaced the original Victorian Pavilion which was burnt to the ground, which as the local Crewe Chronicle reported was on the night of the 29th December, 1972. The Senior Fire Officer reported there had been a possible electricity fault.

 

Because the water mains had been fractured by frost, firemen pumped water up from the lake and although they worked throughout the night, it was to no avail.

 

On Sunday afternoons throughout the Summer, brass bands and groups continue a long tradition of playing in the Park. A variety of bands, provide music to suit all tastes and ages.
