REPD - Can't answer that one, but that general area was hit a couple of times during the war. Undeveloped all the time I lived there. porthcawl don lived just up the road. He might know more.

Mind you, if it was on a flood plain...
Might have been CEGB back then. Definitely cable reels though.

WJ - Yes, confused it with a similar old b&w pic. My mistake. REPD - The land between old PL and the dog track was used by the LEB to keep their huge cable reels.

StD - cheers. Guess the area back then was an actual factory estate?

Just reminded me about going into Queensway at PL as a kid. Christ, the furniture was shit and over priced.
Lampshade factory in 60s.

Morning all. While we're on a what's-around-Plough-Lane subject, what was inbetween the football ground and the dog track before the Total Garage and Queensway carpet shop came along?

The former of which was featured briefly in either the Sweeney or Minder IIRC
The Wandle End was rebuilt before the 1959 season I believe. I think there is a picture in the summer of 59 of the team with the work still going on in the background. I had thought the West Bank roof was later but very probably wrong.

Well we can't afford to have morals anymore but, to repeat thoughts I've put here and on the podcast, I can't be the only one to look at six-figure sums being paid for children and think this deeply uncomfortable and again question what on earth we are doing with this industry of football.

Six figure deal from Bournemouth for Jaheim Scarfe. Hope we have a good sell on clause.

This 1928 image clearly shows the church. So, AI strikes again.

not complaining, Bert, but having lived locally, knew something was missing.
OI. Sydney Black paid for the roof to go on in the late 1950s

Just had my water bill of £175 drop on my mat.That's a lot. Oxfam can supply a whole African village for just £2 a month: time to change supplier I think?
