Thanks Bri!. Was that the aerial photography album? - if so I did see the shot of the football ground - fascinating it was too. I remember there being allotments at the back of the north stand up to the North Western. I also saw the photo of the ground during one of the Royal Marines Tatoos they used to hold there every year - I remember coming home from one of them to hear that evening on the TV, that there had been an explosion on board Apollo 13 and being really worried for the crew...
I would really like to make a Google Sketchup drawing of the football ground - then we could all wander around it to our heart's content and even replay one of the schools' cup finals in virtual reality with the half-size goals and using the D of the normal penalty area as the six yard box of course - it would have to be realistic...
