dunsbyowl Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Someone mentioned this photo the other day. It is interesting not only to the the skeleton of the stand but is from the old shed in the corner of the Lepp and in the distance can be seen a section of the uncovered Kop in all it's MASSIVEness.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 amazing pic - interesting that the old steps and crush barrier on the lepp terrace isn't facing the pitch That's not the Lepp terrace, the old North was two seperate stands, the part that was left is now the North West corner. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the Kop. At the foot of the floodlight pylon. A WC for REAL men. I corrugated sheet wall and an open drain. Trying to work out/remember what was next to it, under the chimney.Surely not the scoreboard, the timing is wrong. A programme stall or pieshop?

Guest GrahamHydeFanClub Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Fantastic. Am I correct in saying it's where the East Bank Rd bus depot is now? Is this the only photo of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisewoodowl Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Fantastic. Am I correct in saying it's where the East Bank Rd bus depot is now? Is this the only photo of it? It's where the Amey depot is now (what used to be the old Council Streetforce depot). There is a plaque on the wall, behind the bus shelter on Heeley Bank Road / Charlotte Road.
