1980 pic for DST/ Spencer White

[Reg Smeeton]

There's a great shot of Burnden Park somewhere with a vast open terrace and a steam loco parked at the top presumably watching a bit of play.......I think this was the terrace that had a crush just post war and killed a good number.......33 apparently.

  An inquiry recommended improved turnstiles, most were newly demobbed servicemen , who were over keen to get in for a big match.

That' s the one.....how good is that?

  I've  a copy of Lowry's Burnden Park.......but I reckon that would be better.

 There's a place in Ambleside, which specialisises in football pics, but it also specialises in high prices.

That would have been well wierd, especially if you didn't realize it was coming along and then you heard the whistle etc, would make you jump!

Although I suppose you'd have to be pretty deaf not to hear it in the first place.
