that is the platt lane end, the north stand was a terrace, used to be called the scoreboard end

I know it was scoreboard end before the seats were put in

Seating in the North stand before it was rebuilt. I was to young to really remember what it looked like but always remember it as seating where as people often say it was a terrace. And it wrapped around to the main stand where as it was rebuilt as a shity box.

That's the Platt Lane Benches,North stand seats in the distance my first visit 62 when the North Stand was standing and called the scoreboard end.
