Ariel photo of Hillsborough and the old Wednesdayite carpark

[@owlstalk]

Have a look at this photo of Hillsborough Stadium showing the old South Stand rear amongst other things

But also have a look across the road at where the old Wednesdayite carpark was. Does anyone remember what businesses and buildings were there that we can see?

There was a lot of cutlery factories around there my granddad worked at Hirum Wilds which was next to the old bus garage so it might have been something similar I can still remember the steel being polished smell now about 35 years later

Looks lovely there!

 

if it was like that now I'd stick those tramps in the bottom and hope the heavens open. 

 

Another way for them to get a wesh!

 

tramps!

On a side note. I miss that roundabout.

The club really should buy that industrial land and also the land where the houses are. Absolutely perfect for the club to develop on

 

(sorry residents )

Probably The Gate and Travellers pubs just showing and Fletchers before it burnt down

The photo is obviously taken between 1986 and 1990, with the Kop roof being on and the lower Lep still terracing - but I can't for the life of me remember what was on that site before, even though I'd have often caught the football special buses back into town from there!

 

I do miss our proper floodlights though.
