I don’t think it’s a structure, just looks like it; turnstiles along near side, advertising hoardings perpendicular.

I think.

Ah bit of an optical illusion, looks raised

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

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 🤔

I wasn’t expecting it to be recognised so quickly. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

In reality, I found it on Facebook and decided this thread was as good as anywhere.

I saw it on a lost grounds site over xmas!!

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?

Inside the ground or leading up to the ground? 🤔

Burnley used to have steps going up to the Longside. Not sure the terraced houses fit though.
