Farnywhite Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Had a dream the other night that we never knocked burnden down and it had stood derelict since we had moved to horwich the club decided to reopen it and play reserve team games there a full house turned up for the first game . Then unfortunately I woke up just as the teams were coming out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 41 minutes ago, Casino said: Well, im confused Whats that structure Cant be normid Its not a structure. The ground side would be the turnstile entrance for the Embankment. I would imagine that the other bit are advertising boards. I may have a vague recollection of them 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 30 Site Supporter Share Posted January 30 One thing confusing me is after the row of turnstiles were three ascending urinals up towards the railway line. Have I imagined them still being there when I started going to games (73-74) or have I just seen them in old pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the terraced houses fit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 30 Site Supporter Share Posted January 30 St Peters Way was finished in 72 (I think) and I reckon this isn’t too far after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Take Hunt Off Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The open urinals on the embankment were there until the mid-seventies along with the larger ‘Watson’ floodlights. Sad bastard that I am I still have a photo of them but don’t have the skill to post on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Hunt Off Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1981 seems about right to me , pisstones gone , floodlights changed & embankment capacity cut back ie steep bit fenced off with hoardings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
