Just a couple more from this afternoon - it doesn't take long to clear does it?

He wasn't there today - I think he was working, thank god. I've got more photos of him than I have of the ground!!

Any news on when they're flattening the Chaddy End? Would presume either end will be the longer jobs because of the amount of banking, and it'd be interesting to see where they dump it. Would be an archeological dream with the amount of crap that has been used for banking over the years

I thought this photo was sad - and I don't know why they couldn't have sold this section of seats, they were hardly used!

I'd have had one of those, warmest seats in the house next to the generator

OMG I've just done something to all my photos on here - I clicked something and they've all vanished!! HELP!!

You'll have to write in to Tony whatsisface (baldrick) and get him down with Time Team to do an archeological dig Matt , either that or someone with a metal detector and a torch Lol

Am sure Tommy Sale or any other gentleman of a similar age can tell us what used to be on the site before HP , maybe fields , maybe old houses , could it have been the place where the mythological Leyth castle used to stand in Norman times Lol

Still showing up on here. As long as you've not deleted them from Photo Bucket then you'll be reet.

I right clicked on my photo and it said smething like "block images...." I clicked it (don't ask) and now they've all gone - does anyone know how I get them back on? I've just tried doing it maually but they're still not coming up!!

Wonder if the gyms still intact under there

Right click and unblock?

Still showing fine here.

No home should be without one or three

Phew - that had me sweating - I've got them back now, I had to go into tools and unblock them!!

It looks like all the rooms underneath the stand are more or less intact - I'm sorry this isn't a great photo but I couldn't get it all in the shot at close range.

Before HP was built Im sure I read somewhere that it was called 'Church Fields' which one would suppose mean just that, my Grandparents used to tell me that there were allotments 'plots' on the site.

yes there were "allotments" on that site,my gran used to live in GLEBE st but i never knew it as church fields? i do remember when HP was built and being used she used to open her back yard for speccies to park thier BIKES in

a penny a game as i recall.

I think the 'church fields' goes back even before 'THEE AND ME' mate Im sure I saw it notice SAW not DRAWED it on a medieval map at some stage.

you could have sold them seats to a cricket team.I dont no if this happend but did they not let the fans in and take what they wanted like when we left our HOME.

They were allotments and Mr Hilton bought the land for £2500

Hilton Park was ownded by Grundy Hill Estates, so it wasn't the club's call.

Heres one for the memories

Now thats a team. The hairs on the back of my neck stuck up when I saw this. Bloody excellent.

Glad you liked it TVboy. Here's another you might like.

Photo taken today - she's almost gone now!

Remember I’m here in NZ, and not been ‘home’ regularly for ages…
Alf Wilkie (my Cuz, BTW), Tony (Shoey) Cooke?, Ray Tabern, Mick McTigue, erm?, Tommy Martyn, Dessie, Phil Fox, John Woods, Terry Bilsbury, Steve Donlan, Mick Hogan, Kenny Green.

Every single one of them's a bloody hero to me an my generation, with memories of Whitehaven, and Oily Johnnies on the way there and back…!!
Great memories. Thanks lads!!

Sad images of the old girl. Sorely missed.

Kia Kaha, fella's!!
