Drove past Villa Park last night and stopped to get a few photos in the gloom of the North Stand development from Witton Lane:-



It was only when I looked closely that I noticed a wall of the original 1960's Witton Lane (now the Doug Ellis) stand emerging - this stand was extended by adding a second tier on, so most of the original stand must be buried somewhere within it I guess?


If you look closely you see the rake of the seats on the original wall, and the newer bricks where it was extended upwards:-


GOOD LUCK TONIGHT LADS!!!!!! UTV!!!!

Same view in 1993 when the extension was being built - the original wall above would be buried behind all the cladding, somewhere behind the "R Block" lettering (thanks to my friend Derek Smith for the photos):-
