I remember down the cricket side there were tin huts, with wooden pallet type flooring. When they went, the trees were planted. That must be 30-35 years ago.

Far side tinned covered stand visible here. This about 1946. The main stand was 26 years old here. Always thought the houses at top end were 30’s but I guess 50’s houses.
