Alan Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Too true Jeff. If I remember correctly there was a small club-house opposite the stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Jeff_Leo Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 (edited) The Club House also had a much larger Social Club bolted on.....I played snooker many times there. The ground was actually very close to Bold Power Station. Edited July 30 by Big_Jeff_Leo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Some of these photos I would have excluded, including the ones already posted but there are several I find interesting. Saints have had some great wingers and I remember my parents praising Alf Ellerby who played in the 1920's; he appears twice. I' m amused by the coalman not being too careful what he's standing in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 That must be Carr Mill Dam but I don't recall the castle-like structure. Must be either before or after the early 1950s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Be great for we who left the borough fifty or sixty years ago if some of these old photos could be dated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyll Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) I remember The Castle & The Funfair, especially the Helter Skelter in the 50's/60's. I also remember the Fountain in Church Square, I think it was in the 80's? I don't think it's there anymore. Here's an old video from the 80's, the Fountain is shown if you look closely. And here's a more recent video, town looks dead! Edited August 9 by Phyll 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
