Just noticed, no one is overweight, let alone obese.

...... and only one person without a hat, and he’s been blurred out!

Before The Goldstone Ground...

I've not seen this pic before. Exactly where would this be, as in where is this looking? If the ground opened in 1901 this has to be pre 1900.

And a famous face from history!! Must have been on a visit from the fatherland to support the mighty Albion.

They were given lard on some stale bread ..... and were grateful for it.

That’s looking north west. The buildings to the south east of the open field are Goldstone Farm, owned by Alderman Clark of Clarks Bakery fame.

What's going on with all the bags that the kids have at the front. Boot bags in case they are given the nod?

Probably come straight from school even in the early 1950s school on Saturday morning was common.

I'm told it's from about 1898.

Taken from roughly where Alderman Clark's house was on Goldstone Lane (behind the Chicken Run), looking towards the south goal.

Plus the ‘ghost boy’ who isn’t really there at all.

Also a bit spooky, the chap front, far left with ecto-plasm spewing from his right eye.

Going through some old family photos and this little nugget cropped up.

I wonder if you brought that back for a re-shoot at the end of 1918 how many would no longer be there. Makes you think.

Is he the one with the hat?

Yes but a dapper hat

The last of the farmworkers' cottages at the southern end of Goldstone Lane - c.1964. These were demolished in 1968.
