More about this scene
The deck-chair audience listens to the band. The view looks across the Pavilion (top left), which became the Ritz Theatre and was destroyed by fire in the 1950s. Behind are the ferry terminal and commercial pier, with a funnel just visible (left centre). Devonshire Buildings and Pulteney Buildings (centre) have those rounded corners that are so characteristic of Georgian Weymouth. They date to the height of the resort's fame, when King George III and his court spent each summer in Weymouth during the Napoleonic Wars.
