Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P.
Hi Dave, Looks like the land that the Aston Villa Academy is built on didn't have any buildings on it connected to the Tram Depot across the road. In the Wikipedia site about the development of Aston Villa Football Ground over it's time at Witton, the land was part of the Lower Grounds Leisure place and further extensions to the Witton End took place around the time the Tram Depot was built. The land was steeply banked for terraces. The Post Office Telephone Depot was built there later and then demolished. My memories are of billboards facing out into Witton Lane after WW2. Would be nice to see some photos if possible. Someone else on the Forum might have some.
