I've honestly no idea on this one, hoping Mick older than Methuselah aka Leigh White will fill in the gaps.

My thoughts are Turf Moor, Molinuex or Leeds Road

best i could find of the hawthorns of remotely the same angle

Can’t believe how similar to Burnden Park this is.
 

Fucking old grounds? All look the same! No individual character! 😞

Convinced it’s Leeds Road. Stood on there open end a few times and they used to have a massive shallow terrace at the side where they later built a stand

Yeah. Hawthorns was almost identical to Burnden back in the day. Fucking old ‘un’s building these identikit grounds eh?

It's Birmingham. Stop fucking guessing.

Apart from you 😉 Anyway, I've done my research. It's St Andrews.

Another vote for Leeds road 

Elm Park

The Ansell's sign in the background suggests its not Reading or Huddersfield.

Gotto be in the Midlands.

St .Andrew's I reckon

Oops, it seems this is the photo we’re trying to place, not the picture of WBA ground posted as a comparison.

You, and everyone else who thinks it's Birmingham City, are correct.

Victoria ground

Have a look at the 1st pic on the link below, looks very much like Turf Moor.

I was swayed by Undies and St Andrews, but their stanchions on old pics are much further back on the terracing

The mystery continues, we need an old ground detective. 

The mystery deepens as Mick the Kit Conniseuer may have missed Burnley playing in white during part of the 1930's

Ha ha, the dingle bastards, i never thought about checking that out.

Glad you didn't pull me on my shit spelling of connoisseur 😆

That pic in the Paddy Paper certainly resembles the original pic.

Plus I'm thinking Turf Moor's pitch was widened too from the early days. They were originally playing with a stadium with a huge crescent shape to it, then closed it in.

plus it doesn't explain why Leeds were playing in their away kit, though ive done some research on that season and there's plenty of pics in them in the kit on the original tweet.

Looks like Undies will have to reopen his part of the thread here......thank me later chaps ......after I speak to a few Burnley inbred mates 😉 

I've just retweeted it to the leeds and lufc hashtag to see if they can help

Hope you get some clarity on it mate, it's certainly baffling us lot on here.

I'm sticking with my original stab in the dark of Turf Moor, even after Leigh Blue ruled it out for offside and Thundies acted all Peaky Blinders on me with St Andrews.

Looking at it now I think you might be right mate. Would never have imagined Turf Moor looking like such a big ground

Had loads of time to kill recently so done a bit of digging on it mate.

Found a good article from the 50's when they wanted to make Turf Moor 3 sides seated and increase the Bee Hole end up to 22,000 standing.

Blimey. Who’d have thought dingles could be so forward thinking? They could have fitted a Costco on that terrace as well if it had all gone tits up

I asked the guy who posted it at the time, but he never replied, so not holding my breath

It's the Hawthorns anyway
