Benburb only just sneaks in at the top left corner. Ibrox top, Albion Greyhound Stadium middle and White City (mainly speedway) at the bottom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to make out a football ground in the top left, but I’ll bow to your superior knowledge, given that my knowledge of the area then is zilch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Saracen Park and Keppoch Park. Ashfield no longer play at Saracen since the Speedway bought it over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the top left was the boundary wall of Tinto Park but having checked an old map the ground was further west than the edge of the photograph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Not Scotland of course but the grounds if Notts County, Nottingham Forest and Trent Bridge cricket ground. Interesting fact about Forest...their stadium isn't in the City of Nottingham but in the town of West Bridgford. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew that. Surprised it's not used more by County fans in the way Manchester City fans do about United and Salford. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda hard to make a point about you being the city club when you’ve named yourself after the county 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawB93 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Glasgow's lost football grounds: New Barrowfield Park, Braidfauld. Not to be confused with Clyde F.C.'s first home. Situated in Westthorn Park in London Road, this ground played host to Bridgeton Waverley F.C. The club started out at Shawfield Park before moving to Barrowfield Park in Camlachie. A compulsary purchase order was presented to build a housing scheme of the same name in the 1930s and they moved to a 'new' Barrowfield Park from 1936 to c.1960. The new site was also subject to a housing plan but was never built upon and still contains artificial pitches. Bridgeton Waverley F.C. moved to Carntyne but went bust by 1962. Aerial view from the 1950s showing New Springfield Park to the bottom left, New Barrowfield Park to the centre right, south of London Road. North directly across the street is New Helenslea Park and just visible to the top left of the photo is Helenvale Park located next to the bus garage. Pinched from here.

velo army Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I used to have one of the Westhorn Allotments. It felt like a wee rural hideout in the midst of a city. Bloody huge plots too. Pity about the shitetonne of hogweed . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
